Default Getting my suspension smooth again

Okay so my car pretty much rides like a wooden horse-drawn wagon and it has done for quite a long time. What do you think could be done to smooth it back out to a factory like ride? Nothing seems to be broken and it's had new tie rods a few times and new struts and shocks without any improvement.

Ball joints? Bushings? Steering rack?

What suspension components are you running? Stock. Did you check your Bushing? Ball joints or steering rack?

Is the suspension OEM?


How many miles?


You could be looking at new shocks, bushings, ball joints, and front UCA's.

Also, how are the tires? What are they?

if your car is lowered, you can't expect it to ride like stock. stock suspension will be the best for ride comfort.
