If I am driving over 40 kmph, then it feels very hard on a rough road. The car feels the bumps too much, like the bumps are hitting the car badly. If I am driving very slowly, the car passes very easily and comfortably. I have just repaired my front suspension of car and purchased new soft tires for my car.
In the morning when I take my car out of garage, the car gives some noise when I turn my steering wheel. Otherwise, there is no sound during driving and the rest of the day.

Hello,

There are several factors which can cause a hard ride.
Over inflated tires, please ensure that the tires are inflated to the correct setting
Possible seized damper/shock absorber. Easily check if you press down on each corner of the vehicle. The vehicle should give way slightly and then bounce back

How to check shock absorbers/dampers:

Please let us know how you get along.

Cheers, Boris

I get repaired front shock absorbers from a mechanic. Should I think about coil springs?
One thing more I want to mention is that the front side of my car is at a higher level when compared with the back side of my car which is comparatively at a lower level. Over the speed of 100 kmph on a smooth road, it feels like something is hitting and producing a sound like 2 solid things are hitting each other. The sound is related to the up and down movement of tires on the road, but it comes only when the car is going steady at the speed of 100 kmph or more.

Also, when a bus passes by my car, my car gets much disturbance due to turbulence. In fact, the whole car body is moved outwards. I need to put my hands on steering carefully when a bus approaches me.

Hi,

I noticed you haven't been contacted for a few days. Have you been able to perform the test that was provided above? Also, when you say the suspension is getting stiff, can you explain? Does the steering get harder or just the bumps? Also, the noise you hear, is it loud enough for you to record and upload for us to hear?

Let me know.

Joe
