Cool cobalt ss bottoming out bad

ive noticed that the rear of my car is bottoming out when i hit small to medium size bumps in the road also gets worse with people in the rear ive replaced one shock absorber on the passenger side were i can see that my tire is rubbing the inside fender but im still bottoming out. any advice would be great do stock shocks usually go bad after 56,000 miles. thanks

CHeck your struts and shocks again. Try pushing the car down and see if the car bounces more than usual.

And remember I'm right up the street from you lol

only thing that would cause it is bad shocks in the rear.
