Suspension problems?

[marius883]

lately when going over bumps in my 2010 sho non pp, the car feels like it's hopping from side to side (hard to explain), it feels like when I hit a bump, the car shifts to the side. Also my front shocks are making like a sucking sound every time I go over a bump, especially speed bumps.. What could be the problem?

Me steering also feels sloppy, like there's some play in it, I know these cars have electric power steering, what could be causing this?

There were are fair amount of early Gen4 owners who experienced failure of the OEM shocks.

I would guess your mileage to be North of 100k, so start by looking to replace those first.

Inspect other components, bushings, linkages, etc. next.

She's got 71k on her right now, do you know if any of those things are covered by ESP? or "premium care"

Shocks & struts won't be (regular maintenance items). Control arms and parts with integrated bushings usually are, under PremiumCare.

Thank you @SHOdded, you are probably the most helpful person on this forum hehe!
I will take the car in to the stealership (yet again) and have them look over the suspension, as well as test drive it. I also have that annoying dashboard rattle still, that I'm sure is coming from the plastic piece that houses the collision warning lights...

Def have the alignment checked also while the SHO's in the shop.

Here's some reading material for you (there'll be a quiz later, so pay attention )

Like bpd said, have the steering & suspension thoroughly checked out. Things that go bad most often (other than shocks/struts) on the SHO:
Tie rods
Ball joints
CV joints/boots
EPAS/rust on sensors

I'm going to take a look at the link you sent me later on tonight, I've made a service appointment for Thursday. I'll be sure to mention all these things to them, and make sure they look everything over.

After I load the stock tune on my car and hook up my bov's, is there anything that can cause them to void my warranty? Car is stock otherwise.

Nope, should be all good.
