Default RE: 960 bumpy ride

Its very strange you have said this, my Volvo has just come back from a very lengthy repair and as a result I have not driven it for many months, so I took the family out in it for the day. I had complaints from the ‘back seat drivers’ that the ride was very bumpy and wallowed.

I had never noticed this before but when taking corners the body roll seemed excessive. My car has only done 53,000 miles and has the self-levelling suspension. But the shocks couldn’t have past there best already (could they).

On recently fitting new tyres a report can back saying one of my rear shocks had been leaking so this would explain the poor handling. How much are new self levelling shocks, I dread to think !…

Before this I thought the 95 M.Y handed very well for such a heavy car. So I would check your shocks for leaks…
