Hello,



I have been having an issue with my ST for a couple months now. When I hit a dip, pothole, speedbump, it feels like the rear end is bottoming out. The ride hight is about the same as it was new when I bought it in 2002. I put in new Rancho RSX shocks about a year ago and they ride fine. From my inspection of the rear end, it looks like the shakels maybe coming in contact with the hitch assembly and the bushings in the frame look like they are bagged out.



Could this be what is causing my problem, and if so, where can I get these parts? The auto parts store does not seem to carry any poly bushings, and I would prefer not to go with the stock rubber from Ford.

You need to resize your pics... Like the others, it is all but impossible to see what we are looking at.



Sorry...
