If your 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix is experiencing issues with bottoming out and tire rubbing on the inner fender when there are passengers in the back seat, there are a few potential solutions you can consider:

Check tire size and pressure: Ensure that the tires on your vehicle are the correct size and properly inflated according to the manufacturer's specifications. Incorrect tire size or low tire pressure can contribute to rubbing issues.

Suspension inspection: Have a professional mechanic inspect the suspension system of your vehicle. They can check for worn or damaged suspension components such as springs, shocks, or struts. If any components are worn out or not functioning properly, they may need to be replaced.

Load-leveling suspension: If your Pontiac Grand Prix is equipped with load-leveling suspension, make sure it is functioning correctly. Load-leveling suspension adjusts the ride height and stiffness of the suspension system based on the weight in the vehicle. If it's not working properly, it may need to be repaired or replaced.

Upgrading suspension components: Depending on the severity of the issue, you may consider upgrading certain suspension components. For example, installing stiffer springs or performance shocks can help improve the suspension's ability to handle heavier loads without bottoming out or rubbing.
