Default Bouncy Bump Suspension

So yesterday i rotated my tire from front to back and back to front after i got done doing so i notice that the camber on the driver front was a bit weird (i was on an incline on my driveway).

So i went for a test drive and noticed that the car now feels very bouncy and much more bumpy than before the rotating. After driving for a bit i brought it back home and swap the tire back to their previous position.

Thinking that maybe the treadwear might have some to do with but that did not fix the issues.

All i did was rotate the tire and then back again.

I also did not change the tire pressure from the previous. I was rotating the tires in my driveway on a slight incline but have done it before and noticed zero issues.

I torqued the wheels as well to factory specs.

Just wondering what you all think.

Still the same feel after you put the tires back to where the were from the start?
Any suspension mods?

1. Go to a tire shop
2. Get tires inspected and re-mounted/re-balanced

after losing a few lug nuts, I no longer trust the factory torque spec and this might not be popular opinion but I tighten much more. I think making sure they are all close to the same spec makes the difference.

also are you tightening them in the correct pattern?

Same thing happened to me after changing my front rotors. I thought my friggin wheels were gonna fall off . I went back to the shop, set it up on the lift and inspected them. Turns out that my right front wheel was loose... after I already torqued them down.

It was due to calcium build up (happens over time whenever aluminum wheels are in contact with steel) on the lip of the centric lip on the hub assembly and in the hub opening of the wheel. It wasn't flush before I tightened it, so it began to wobble down the road. I cleaned up the wheels and hub with a steel brush, tightened the lug nuts in a star pattern and torqued them to 105 lbs with a torque wrench.

Although mine was an extreme case, it might be the same issue you're having. So make sure that your wheels are 100% flush with the rotor before tightening them down.
