As Russ said, automatics have their own sets of issues, but I don't think your Gold is an automatic, is it?
If you recently replaced the shocks, your springs are still 20 years old. They do sag over time, I'd be looking at them if I were you. Does the car wallow or bounce around at all? Or is it nice and tight, but just sitting low? If it's bouncing around and bottoming as a result, then the shocks may be bad, or loose on one end. If it's nice and tight and still bottoming out, then I'd think about getting new springs.

Anyway my '89 Gold readily 'bottoms' if I go over any sort of speed bump or curb [even at slow speed] - put someone in the back seat & its much worse. I replaced the shocks 2 or 3 years ago with Alfa stock. Any suggestion to solve? thanks & happy holidays Ralph Houston, TX -- to be removed from alfa, see http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi or email "unsubscribe alfa" to [email protected] -- to be removed from alfa, see http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi or email "unsubscribe alfa" to [email protected]
