I'm not quite sure how I can explain this, but whenever I go under 50ks, the car will dip up and down, which almost feels like it has a slightly flat tyre, but all tyres are at their appropriate pressure levels?

Once I go past 50-60, it will ride normal and smooth, is this something to do with the suspension?

I also should note that I hit a speed bump doing about 40 when I first picked up the car (Sydney roads, poorly lit streets, missus etc).

How old are the tires? I know once I had the same problem after I got a flat and put a spare tire on. It did exactly what your saying yours does. Turns out the tire was old and the wire inside the rubber had let go and made a slight bump in the rubber

The tyres are not even 5,000ks old, I'm pretty sure an alignment was done when my new rims/tyres were put on but I'll get it checked out, why would it cause it to dip though?
