2005 Volvo V50 Car shutters after hitting bumps

To keep things simple for now check all for of your shock absorbers for leaks. If you find one leaking most likely that will be your problem but I would strongly suggest you take it in to a shop to have the suspension looked over. I have seen the control arm bushings break on this cars also. Quick test for that is at a slow roll tap the brakes a few times kinda hard but dont lock the wheels and do not stop the car. If you have broken control arm bushings the front wheels will vibrate bad and you will hear a load clunking noise.
