Like I have solid rubber tires. Reminds me of a 1979 trans am I had. What bushings could have gone bad at 95k? There is no looseness, just rides very harsh, if I ran over a penny I would feel it. I might be able to tell you the year it was minted.
35 psi in tires, relatively new tires, Bridgestone Potenzas that have a very high rating for this car on Tire Rack. Same ride when it had the Michelin Pilots, so it is not the tires.
Do transmission mounts also crap out early? This is an automatic so there is more weight. There also seems to be a lot more vibration than with the 2.0 motor in my old 9-3. Maybe vibrations from there? At least it dent leak oil...yet.
