When your car starts to feel like a trampoline.

 

[PROPHET]

Trampoline...Funny but true.

 

[Bizzy]

Very bouncy and sometimes very noisy (rattle sound).

Moved to troubleshooting section...suspension/brakes/body

I thought taurus's were supposed to feel like trampolines.

It's a SHO not a taurus.

 

[mopower]

It's a SHO not a taurus.

So thats why it bounces twice as fast

Alan, if you press down on a corner of the car and release, the body should rebound to the normal ride heigth with no more than one large amplitude overshoot. The setup on my car damps the motion with only one small amount of rebound above the normal ride height. OEM struts may give a couple of rebound cycles.

Get Tokicos, have lifetime warranty, won't bounce at all, ride great.

heres one for you, i have tokicos/eibachs and it feels like trampoline, HOWEVER, the struts are perfectly fine! its something else thats making it bounce its really weird, but then again, my SHO has always been an damn exception to most SHOS, ever since i bought this car, my other life things have been afffected as what my friends call the power of the SHO, lol sometimes when they park their cars near mine, and something breaks on their cars, they say oh the sho was talking to my car, lol. Oh yeah i take lots of shit!
