Magnetic ride control problem.

was wondering if anyone know about this. I have a 2007 STS4 ISG I believe it is, as it has every option. Plus it's mountain laurel pearl pink. :) (former Mary Key car). Bought it for the G/F. When going over bumps, the rear end bottoms out. the front still feels fine. There are no codes and nothing comes up on the DIC, and I can see no leaks. Feels like the shocks don't work. could both have gone bad at once? Do they do that when they go bad? It doesn't even restrict me to 80MPH. I have 143.760 KM -89328.3 miles on it. And of course the warranty went out 2 months ago lol. Anyone have ideas? help would be much appreciated.

not being at the correct ride height will make it ride differently that's for sure ... not sure how much extra bounce you'd get but probably some

how many bounces do you get before it stops?

Small bumps nothing big bumps I can get 3 or 4 bounces. and when it comes down it comes down hard.
If the shock is worn out it will bottom out on itself (doesn't matter if the air bladder is blown out or not)
if that shock is bottoming out it's toast

Ya figured as much. Just I find it odd that it would all go at once. It drove so great, then this. next week on my days off i'm bringing it in a shop to check it out. I'm hoping it's just a blown air line lol. but I don't think I will be that lucky lol.
usually the shock bladders leak
line leaks are rare unless the lines have been moved and get chaffed

Ya with my other 2 it was the shock ,then the compressor gave up the ghost.And with these you can't just get the bladder you have to get the whole shock :(
