Default damit damnit... the car rides rough... suspension, tires, or???

I dunno if the rough ride is caused by the tires or the suspension... How can I tell??? The tread on tires are over all decent... just outer edges of the tires are worn... The roughness (vibration) seems to come from the passenger rear side... The sympton became obvious after the ACNA event.

HELP!!! please... pretty please.

What do you mean by rough? Have you checked tire pressure?

Default First off...are we talking about a rough ride...or a vibration. They are two different things...

If you are having vibrations from the rear wheel, a simple thing to check is that the lugs are tight and torqued to 90 foot-pounds.

Default yes, I have checked the pressure.

I just know that the car does not feel the same. I feel all the bumps and the holes on the road. The car bounces more... especially on non-paved road...

Sounds like a worn shock.

That's what I thought... How do I check for a worn shock(s)?
