I know what you mean but I don't think that's the correct spelling and meaning of what i think may be a compound or predicate adjective

It's not a critisism of you as my understanding of english syntax is shite. I'm still trying to learn at my age
Really I'm just not sure myself, I just know it's not scrappy... may be it's scrapy?
So does anyone know the correct word, classification and spelling?
After all, we should be able to accurately describe poor suspension on JC's
