My car doesnt do well on speed bump, cracks or uneven parts of the road. The car is very sensitive and the entire car bounces around when i hit bumps. It bounces more than other SUV's its size. I just had the shocks replaced with Monroe's and wonder what else I need to do to get a smoother ride? Thanks.

Really, there isn't much more that can be done. If the shocks are new, that is what determines how much the car bounces. THe only other thing I can think of is a heavy duty coil spring or helper springs. However, that will make the ride stiffer and you may be upset with that.

Let me know if this answers your question or if you have others.
