I drive a 99 Saab 9-3 and upgraded my rims to 17" aero rims. The car looks great, the problem is the ride. I have never ridden in such a rough riding car in my life. If I hit a bump I feel as though my car is going to rattle apart. I would never have thought upgrading from 16" to 17" would make such a difference. I also have a problem when the weather drops below freezing, it sounds like the frame is bending when going over a bump. Is there any chance that my bushings are shot, which in turn would cause my car to ride this rough? I cannot stress how bad the ride is. Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks!
Brian
