    Thanks Tony... I have already thought about it (and it may be the final result anyway) but the 'circular motion' bounce is a real strange one which is pointing me towards a manufacturer fault with the current setup.

    I'm relatively happy with the firmness and handling of the vechicle as is. We generally crawl over any speed humps (and it's not noticeabe over them anyway) but is mainly evident as you're driving over the last dip/bump at the end of a bridge, or a raised highway rail crossing doing 80km or more.

    What confuses me is that it will happen even if the bump/dip/rail crossing is totally perpendicular to the road. The car soaks it up, but 'bounces back to the left' a little rather than bouncing in a predictable straight line up-down. Kinda scarey when you're on a right hand bend when it happens! I just don't want to look like a total idiot (like I do now) when I expalin all this to the dealer Might just have to pull a wheel or two off, and look for obvious shocky oil leaks/loose components etc.....Cheers!
