Your tire pressure could be low, or your stock struts could be shot. Struts can go bad.
I would take it in for service, they should cover the struts and springs under warranty.

Tire pressure has a dramatic effect on the way a car rides and handles. I would definitly make sure they are at the recommended pressure, and then add 5-10 psi. That worked best for me.
What? I though you had bumper to bumper for 5 years and the only thing not covered was brakes, wipers, oil changes and tires so what's this about the suspension not being covered. Are you sure you got your info right? I'm not trying to be an ass so please don't think that I just want to get my facts straight ya know.

Hey man, we were just joking around, since the original post had a typographical error, stating that the car was year 200 model. We were just being nitpicky, sarcastic a-holes tongue.gif tongue.gif
sorry, its actually a 2000. the ride is really terrible. i seriously doubt the tire pressure would make it THIS bad. you guys dont understand how rough my ride is. does anyone know if its still under warranty for suspension? it's a 2000 with 15,000 miles.
