I Hit A Speed Ramp Too Fast - Help!

    So I hit a speed ramp too fast a few months back.

    I've replaced both front shocks but the near-side is still a bit too bouncy in comparison to the driver's side.

    Any ideas what next to replace? Could it be the spring on that side is goosed as well? Bushings etc?

    Any help or suggestions is appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Kinda like trying to diagnose a noise by describing it! Could be a lot of things. You’ll just have to get a mechanic to check it over OP.

    The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.

    Bring it to a garage an check the alignment etc No way of knowing what needs to be replaced without seeing the car, how fast were you going to damage the shock???

    Are you due an NCT or can you do NCT up to 90 days early? That might be cheap diagnosis. It's hard to know from what you describe.

    Replaced with new or used shocks?

    If you think NSF is soft,check if OFR is different to NSR. You might have goosed a rear shock too if you hit the bump that hard.

    Brand new OEM shocks. Mag ride too so they cost a penny. You know what though .. I think this might be it. I inflated the OFR tyre to make it a bit harder and the NSF has stabilised somewhat. I'm thinking the OFR may be gone too.
