So I replace the shocks but still had the problem just not as bad. I've been replaced the springs with used springs from a much newer Miata. The pump stopped problem was still there on the right rear. And when I make a turn either direction into a parking lot it hits very hard on the right rear. If it's not the shocks or the springs what other part can cause this problem?

Good morning.

I would use only new springs. Shocks do not hold up a car, it just stabilizes it.

The springs hold the height.

I attached the Monroe quick strut part numbers for you. You can call around and see if anyone has them.

I wasn't expecting an answer at 6 :00 am on a Sunday morning, lol.
I'll be replacing the springs with new ones. Your reply was greatly appreciated.
