i6 harsh ride from the rear

Hi I am hoping someone can advise on the following, I get a harsh ride with the rear near side not giving much damping of bumps in the road, I have changed the rear ARB's, the drop links look to be ok, after changing the rear ARB's the swaying of the rear was reduced but did not completely disappear, I am now thinking it's the rear shockers but there is no sign of oil leaking and the rear springs do not show any signs of breakage, current mileage is 36.400 approx and the car is 2008

thanks

We have a lot of speed bumps in Sydney. The rear does give a bit of a thump if just a whisker over the speed suitable for the sharpness of the bump on the road.

Tends to happen more on the gutter side of the road as roads are more damaged this side. Thus front left tyre is the most damaged tyre.

Let the tyres down a bit, you will be shocked how much pressure changes if you have TPMS. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!
