what makes my car go bump in the night??????
well i posted before when my car started shaking like hell at 60 mph and i put the back wheel on the front and that fixed the major shaking.
i just got the tire which was out of balance replaced and now i have four good wheels. yet when i hit a bump with the left rear tire it tries to step out on me even though i am going straight. yes i have bad suspension but it doesnt feel like a susp. prob.
every time i hit a bump it feels like it continues to bounce up and down even though i passed the bump. strange.
also i believe this is related. (on turns especially) when i accelerate sometimes the back right will jump up and down. this isnt even under hard accel. just normal.
any ideas?
Justin
sorry if my thoughts are a little disheveled but i am groggy

Definitely sounds like a rooted shock. Easy test: push down hard on each corner and release quickly. It should bounce once only. Otherwise replace them.

Yea, mine has the same prob. If I hit a couple bumps close together the rear end will go sideways a bit. Scares the you know what out of me!
Suspension is in the plans soon!
