Dear Amarin,

Hope you're well. Thank you for your insights. The tires (Michelins) have 6,000 miles (10,000 km) on them.

Shock absorbers can be tested by placing a foot on the bumper cover at the corner, pressing down hard, and then quickly removing one's foot. If the shocks are serviceable, the bumper will instantly and "crisply" spring back to its normal height. If the shocks are not serviceable, the bumper will bounce a couple of times, before motion ceases.

If a shock is weak - and the tire hits an obstacle, the tire will not stay in contact with the road. Rather, the tire will bounce away from the road surface. That loss of contact - however brief - is worrisome.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

Spook
