Thanks for your reply,
I was doing bout 80 km on a 60-70 km off ramp. To my mind, I should not taxing the suspension at that speed. If I were at 90+ km I would expect more instability. The bump was nothing more than a joint in the pavement running across the road. To acccuratly describe the intensity on the bump now becomes subjective but sufice to say in my 35 years of driving this comes totally unexpected . And I've never experienced this extent of instability in any tired old vehicle I ever had as a kid.
One more thing, The problem seems to be much less prevailent with the winter tires installed (on regular rims)
I havn't done any more to th ecar except for the $100 4 wheel allignment, the $700 tires and the $200 shocks. I just don't know where bleeding of money is going to stop.
I'm afraid of spending good money after bad at this point.
This problem is so intense that I am surprised that it hasn't been isued as a recall
Cheers,
Steve
