I've taken my truck to two different repair shops to find out why it rides so rough when I hit a bump, but they have told me my suspension is fine. Any sugjestions on how I can get a smoother ride? Ie new struts or shocks?

A seven year old truck. Have you ever replaced the shocks yet? Must have 70,000-80,000mi? Time to replace em.

I've taken it to two places so far who have told me the suspension is fine, i've had it for 2 years and I have replaced the rear shocks (did not help the ride)
it has 150 KM on it. I was told by a friend who works in the biz that replacing the struts would help the ride (not that I trust him as he is new to the field)

If you can find struts on an S10 go for it! BTW this is a small TRUCK.
