Suspension: - The push test - struts

volvogv · Oct 14th, 2015, 00:48

I'm an Amazon guy who just got my first 240!

When I push down on the front fender it takes almost no effort to move the car downward, but when I let go it pops back up with zero bounce.

I understand that there's not supposed to be any bounce, but should the struts be so weak that a slight push makes the car drop?

the original springs are shocks are super soft. Lots of options out there for upgrades
