   Hey guys my car is lowered 55m on the rear lately when I have some one in the back or my bmx I the boot I get a scrape on the passenger rear when going over the smallest bumps
   
   Would this be a fooked shock?

   Check the camber of the wheels & make sure also the tyre profile is correct.Are you using spacers?Does 1 side of the car sit lower?

   No spacers mate standard vtr alloys standard size tyres, looks same height on the back if camber is out a bit what's that mean?

   Fooked beam if scrape, damper merely damps the movement of the arm.

   No camber that I can see any other way of checking the beam?

   Jack it up and put the rear on axle stands and wobble the rear wheels and see if there is any play. Could be a collapsed bearing.
