my suspension is still really bad. i changed the struts last year and the coil springs a couple weeks ago. but the suspension is still bottoming out when i go over a bump. cant even do anything with it on the freeway becase the front starts to move up and down and i scrape the body on the road. what can be wrong? (1992 Toyota Celica GT. ---4 cyl. 2.2L)
What can be wrong?
has the car been fitted with original manufactured parts (OEM), or aftermarket performance parts? has it lowerd? a pro should look at it either way.

Sounds like wrong struts or springs to me, get it back to the shop that did the work and explain what is going on. They should fix it for free, good luck.
Hopefuly you installed New parts. I have seen folks who will use old parts.
With struts and new springs I would wonder if your drag link and other steering components up front are giving up.
Has your car been in any major accidents. It could be your chassis is flexing from fatigue due to damadge. If this is the case your best bet is to get out of this car pronto before it hurts you and someone else.
Wish I could extend to you more positive information but this does sound terminal.

get your strut pots checked to make sure they are tight and correctly holding your struts in position...if they are worn or damaged, it will make a clunking noise when you hit a big pothole or bump...good luck!
