Hi all,
I don't know anything about suspensions so i appreciate all of your comments.
I was curious so I went out and pushed on the rear on each side and noticed this:
1) The rear suspension seems very, very soft compared to my 1987 or 1994 900 T.
2) The left rear seems 50% more soft than the right and seems to bounce a lot more.
This just does not seem right to me. Even my crappy old Ford Taurus seemed more firm than this. Could this explain why the car tends to jump to the right on some freeway dips? Does this sound like what some of you called a "blown" shock?
Thanks,
--James
