Suspension wallowing
24. Mar 2008 at 23:34

Hello - I own a V6 Omega CDX which I bought from my dad. He gave it to me for a song (with only 26k on the clock!) and it is a pleasure to drive - I look forward to the trip home after a day's work. My problem is that, in my view, the suspension feels very soft and the car wallows in corners, to the extent that if I encounter a sudden dip in the road, the mudflaps bottom out, as if the shocks/springs are tired. My dad is a very careful (retired) driver and never abused the car so the car has had a very easy life with a FSH to match, so I can't believe the shocks/springs have deteriorated with such a small mileage. Are the shocks of the 'gas' type that need re-priming or am I missing something else - otherwise car is a peach.
Colin.
