Could be struts...they run about $40 or so each I think at autoparts stores for a plain jane strut. Also check here for more help. They have a writeup on it.

I've discovered if I hit them at around 57 mph the jolt is not that bad.

I think that the dashboards on our cars are glued with boogers!!!!

yea, the faster u go, the less painful the blow is...any recommendations for struts? monroe, kyb, tokico, koni, etc?

I'm going with a Tokico/Eibach combination. My perference though.

I'm going with the Koni/eibach setup next week so I'll have a report by then on what I think.
By the way, my dash will bounce too if bumps are hit at the right speed to cause the dash to resonate.
