Default suspension question

Is there a good suspension kit I can buy to get rid of the clunkyness and harshness? I feel every bump in the rode. Didn't realize how bad it was until I drove my buddy's 09 dodge ram. That truck rode alot more nice and smooth. My car is still more fun to drive though

Hey, I spent a ton of money to get that clunky, harsh ride. Feels like I'm driving a sports car and not a Crown Vic. I really thought the stock suspension was pretty cushy. No?

Having solid motor mounts and an aluminum driveshaft doesn't help with vibration either lol. It just seems my struts are more clunky than they used to be. The streets in my town suck.

Most have to pay fior what you have.
The new Challengers are probable more your style.
Comfy but nose divers on corners.

"upgrade" to softer shocks and different springs with a lower rebound rate.


hate to say it, but what you are describing is the nature of the beast in these cars. I do feel your pain though sometimes. There is a bump near my house that my Expedition EL doesn't even notice. It causes my Stang to jump though.


So I now drive a different way home to avoid that sucker. Wouldn't give up my car though
