Not a Saxo but shouldn't really matter.

All of a sudden I've noticed my car has become very bouncy and I can feel alot more bumps on the road than I normally would. Even on straight roads I seem to be bouncing about in the seat.

Anybody know what the cause of this would be? I've checked tyre pressures but they are fine, so it must be a suspension thing.

Appreciated ;D

I would suspect worn shocks. i have heard to check go and bounce the front end down and if it returns the shocks are ok but if it continues to bounce and then settle the shocks are worn. i think the same will go for the back shocks too.

Hope this helps.

see if u can get a look at ur shockers to see if they're leaking. u should be able to see oil runnin down the side if they are.

and trust the bounce test as we had one at work shocker was pissin oil out yet it only did 1 and a half bounces
