I have a 91 soarer with 95k miles on the clock. Everything stock The ride is spine breaking, going over rough or washboard type surfaces the car rattles violently, the entire suspension feels like its about to separate from the car, I can feel the bumps driving over painted lines and road reflectors. The steering wheel rattles and shakes, it feels like all of the 4 tires are flat. The car also tramlines when the road is uneven. I crawled under the car and took a look around....LCA bushings look okay, but its hard to tell. No leakage coming from the shocks. I tried doing the bounce test but the suspension feels really stiff. I can only push down on the car about 2", it doesn't bounce back repeatedly though, just rebounds once to original position. The rear seems like its sitting lower than the front....about 1/2"
I am stumped, I want to figure out if its the bushings or shocks before I start ordering parts... thoughts?
