When you drive through a dip or over a bump in the road the rear end of your 95 Chevy lumina bounces horribly Do you need new springs or new struts?

If it uses rear struts, replace them. If it's rear shocks, replace them. Basically it's the same thing. Replace the strut inserts if you can get them. It's a lot less money than replacing the entire strut.

Does a 1999 park ave have air shocks or struts?

They have air shocks in the back that are used for ride height control. This is not the same as an "air spring" system. They have regular rear springs and the air bladders in the shock are only pumped up when there is significant load in the rear, to prevent the rear end from sagging. This is a very simple and reliable system. Monroe makes great factory replacement rear air shocks and they are cheap too.

In a 1997 Chevy Cavalier what would cause the right rear section by the tire makes a loud clunking sound when hitting a bump?

Check the shocks and the suspension components. You might have a bad bushing on the sway bar, shock or elsewhere. The 1997 Chevy Cavalier has struts instead of shocks in the rear-end, so you would need to replace those. Also while replacing the struts you might want to consider alingment for both the rear and front because if the car has been making this sound for a long period of time it will be out of aline. My cavalier had the same problem, but both struts were bad.


If 1 is strut leaking do you replace both?

Yes, most definitely. You must always replace struts and shocks in pairs. Replace one front shock or strut then you must replace both. Same for the rear.


Is there a difference between the left and the right shocks on a 1992 toyota corola?

I believe they should be struts, not shocks. The only difference is where the bracket is for the brake line, the strut itself is the same.
