Issues around the suspension. The driving is not smooth even on a good road.

Check struts for leakage and push down on car if car bounces about three times the struts are no good.

Hey TAYO,

Do you mean the car bounces or you feel a vibration, is it the whole car or just the steering wheel? If it is a vibration I would start with the tires.

Here is a guide to get you started

If the car bounces new shocks might be in order

Its not the same car but give you an idea on what you are in for with the repair

Let us know

Best Ken
