You wouldn't expect a new car ride at 160k miles but it really clunks when I hit even a small bump (or "bimp" as Chiff Inspector Clouseau would say). I can't really wiggle the tires much when they're off the ground and the car doesn't rebound really if you jump on the front bumper and it handles great while whipping in and out of traffic, threading the needle, dicing for the lead etc,... The tires follow the steering wheel instantly as you turn the wheel when it's parked at the curb so it doesn't feel like there's any play in the steering. What do I need to replace to make it a smoother ride? It rattles the whole car. It feels like a torpedoed ship. A manhole cover lip makes you think you've rammed the curb straight on. I have air tools, a car hoist, lot's of time, limitless patience, extra cars. Thanks as always. I'm quite content with my snappy red racer otherwise. Very well, the spellcheck is complete. I had two mistakes.
