I've been noticing lately that my 940 turbo's ride is a bit on the harsh side. We arent exactly blessed with the smoothest roads here, and I find the car tends crashes harshly on rough roads and over expansion joints. Now, I know my struts/shocks are a bit on the worn side, but I'm wondering if that's the problem or is it just the inherent nature of the way these cars ride. Many other cars I drive seem to deal better with these road conditions, but they're the type of cars that I think shouldnt. My friend's 2003 VW GTI, with 17" wheels and low profile tires seems to ride much smoother on poor roads. On my friends camry you barely feel a thing going over these same roads. So is it my dampeners or is it just something that's part of 940 ownership?
