Four people in the car plus a dip equals Mufflers scraps the ground

[Buick_noob]

What parts do I need to fix that?

 

[BlackMetal]

Could put AirLift airbags in the rear coils to prevent the body from squatting that low, or get springs with a higher spring rate (rougher ride).

 

[boostingbuick]

Sounds like worn out springs. And poss. worn out shocks.

 

[novaderrik]

sounds about normal- most every car will have something hit the pavement when you have a full load of people in it and hit a big bump or dip at any speed.

 

[Buick_noob]

Airbags are on. and every type of dip it will hit.

Toss 2 of them out......:biggrin:

Next question.

 

[BlackMetal]

Well this might be fairly obvious but make sure the exhaust is hung up tightly under the car. But other than that, as someone already mentioned, a car load of 4 people will cause that.

I agree with above, it'll happen with 2 adults in the back seat, besides it's a hotrod,, the back seat is for groceries.
Getcha a wagon for your friends to cruise with.

Thats true but I wouldn't expect that with two Females in the back with a combined weight of 210lbs. First time I ever had anyone in the back other than my 2 year old son.

Which muffler setup do you have?

If you have a stock style, there could be a clearance problem.
If you have a set of duals (like most of us) that imitate the GNX setup, it's probably hanging down too far.

I have 3" duals (like I mentioned above) from the cat over the axle. I have no problems with scraping or clearance regardless of who is in the car. I would have to say something isn't installed right.

Heeeeey! I take offense to that. Don't know why, but heeeey!

As for the scraping, it is just the cars way of fixing a low hanging exhaust. I'd say low exhaust and worn springs. What are the bags pumped up to?
