SV6 E2 bumpyness problem, need help.

[poosh]

my car has done 15,000 km , my sv6 just annoyed me with bumpy feeling ,

It sort of feels like im driving on a bumpy road and every couple second the wheels hit a small pot hole and this feeling is through seat . the whole car is slightly vibrating as well .

dealer had check it but they can not find any problem on shock or suspension, they said SV6 is quite sporty so it will make a normal harsh feeling ,

then I had wheel alignment and balance done by bob janes , however the feeling is still there and it drives me nuts as i am driving unstable car everyday .

I just want to know if this is normal harsh feeling or your guys had similar problem before

IF stock suspension is too harsh for you get a corrola

Yeah real helpful you are...don't be a tool.....Stock suspension definitely shouldn't feel like that, yes the sports suspension should be a stiffer and firmer ride, but definitely shouldn't feel like your hitting potholes. Best thing I can suggest if you're not getting any joy from the dealer, is take it to a suspension specialist and have them test drive it, they may be able to diagnose the problem, and Holden will have to sort it out under warranty.

-It's a new car
-The dealer's looked at it and can't find anything wrong
-Alignment and balance done by BJ

I then assume that the car is in perfect order and OP is just not used to it....and therefore my comment

Now settle down a bit

OP - what car did you have prior to sv6 ?

Just don't take it to Pedders, they'll want to replace everything

What size wheels you got on your SV6 buddy?

I used to drive subaru liberty 2005 ,

I got stock 18inch wheels , did not do any modification on my car .

Depending on the road surface your travelling on, the sports suspension on the VE SV6, SS will relay the condition of the road up through the car.

They can feel a bit rough at times and can also depend on tyre pressures too. I noticed driving a series 2 SV6 it gave a lot more feedback about the road condition than my SSV. I looked at the tyres and they were Yokohamas instead of the Bridgestones (RE050A).

Cheers

P.S. Has it always felt this way or is it something that has just started doing it?

hi HEXEM

thanks for your reply , it started since 10,000 km , before that was fine ,at least is not noticeable.

I would put the front tyres on the back and vice versa, we have a SV6 company ute. I noticed it was a bit harsh. I had the wheels rotated at 12000ks and front and rear wheel Alignment done. All good now, smooth as silk.
The front tyres were starting the feather just goes to show how **** the factory set up is.
Worth a try, you may also want to have a look at your tyres off the car make sure there is no damage to them or the rims.
