My MX-3 is bouncy!

[serggio99]

Is it me, or are all of these small cars soo bouncy like this? each time i run over a small hump in the highway, my car bounces up and down. an answer to this problem would be appreciated

blown struts...this is what causes "bounciness". The car is severely underdampened, and will bounce all over the place.

Ok...so how much do new struts cost? how long can i drive it like this? thanx for tha info

struts cost anywhere from 30 bucks to over 500 each. depends on what you want. Searching through this forum will give you a good idea of your performance options.<P>You can drive around on for as long as you want to bounce around.
