bouncy suspension

Post by geminii »

Morning all. My corsa which I purchased about a month ago has lowered suspension with koni adjustable on the back. When driving I feel like a effing nodding dog. Difficult to know if it's the front or back which is causing it, but by the time I get home from work I have a headache with all the bouncing. I know that both front arms are on way out but didn't know if this would cause the problem. Don't want to purchase new springs and shocks if it could be something simple. Thanks for checking out this post. Noddy.

Is it a hard or soft bounce? Need to know if it's front or back to be certain but it could be the koni's are set to stiff
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

I would say hard bounce and on the way to work today I tried to work out if it was the front or back and I would say the back.
