Possible suspension problems
The car drives like there are no shocks installed, I can feel every litle crack in the pavement. What is wrong? or is it normal..any ideas. Comparing the ride comfort to Chevy TrailBlazer it feels like riding a sled over a bumpy road.
New shocks installed front and back, 2 moths ago, new swaybar bushings.

I don't think you can compare the SVX's ride with that of any North American company car. It sounds as though you have stiff struts (not yet broken in) or over inflated tires. Was your alignment off by much after the struts install?

try bouncing your shocks on each corner, they should go / return to normal at a pace if they bounce and spring immediately..... need new shocks.
try adding/removing a little air, play a little with it. And the forum here states that the ride should be like a waverunner on gentle waves. hope this helps |
