Welcome back.

Guessing the shocks are old? If so that could be an issue on the road. Or the tires.

If shocks, just look up KYB GR-2 shocks on ebay, they are basically stock replacements.

Missed you mang

Like biggie said, try the shocks and springs. I'm sure bushings wouldn't hurt either!

Hey man,Good to see you're back. Hmm.. to get that feel? Yes shocks, tension rods, control arm/bushings front and rear, sub-frame bushings, motor and trans mounts. Oh and a sometimes overlooked one... tires (check the age of them - last four digits of DOT number xxxx xxxx 3508 would indicate 35 week of 2008). Worn tires also ride hard (thin covered steel belts=harsh ride). Sub-frame bushings are a PITA to switch out. I'm gonna switch mine out last. Good luck getting going again. Good to see you back on.
