Yeah.. so this 94 del sol S i'm fixing up is rough as crap.
every little ridge in the road can be felt. Potholes violently jarr the car. It's like being in a go kart.
I know the car is small.. but on stock 14's.. should it really operate like this?

is this just how the car is.. or is 160k miles on an old *** car mean time to replace all the suspension bits?

Does it have aftermarket suspension or aftermarket poly bushings or anything?

Neptronix

no.
this car is stock as it gets.
pushing on the edges of the car... it seems slightly smooshy. maybe a little more loose than the average car.

then it might be busted shocks, good shocks will rebound quickly so when you bounce a car it doesnt "smoosh" around. Check into that, get a decent entry level suspension for the car and see if that fixes things.

Neptronix

mm yeah. it does not rebound quickly..
what about struts.. should i worry about those?

I dont bother with flaming, if people ask a question, they deserve an answer, unless they act like a complete retard.
