Ox Cart Ride - HondaClub.com

I have a 2004 Accord EX 4-banger that rides like an ox cart over road irregularities at all speeds. My old 90 Accord did not do this. Any one know of where I could get a better set of shocks?

Take note of the "Load" & "Speed" rating on your current tires. A few yrs back I needed a new set, so I stated to the clerk give me another set of the very same tires I had enjoyed for 30k miles. The new set road like a truck - eventhough they where identical, almost. The clerk installed a set that was alot higher "Load" & "Speed" rated. Bitchin' he exchanged those for what I have now. No complaints.

Thanks much for the advice, but I am riding on the same tires that came with the car new and which have caused the ox cart ride since day 1. Further, the car has recently been serviced (15.000 miles), tires rotated and pressure standardized. No change.

You know your story reminds me of when I bought my Corrola a few years ago, which is what I traded in on my 2007 SI sedan, but the tires were way over inflated. I'd check your tire pressure, sounds so simple it's almost stupid but the dealer had over inflated them. That may be all that it is. Read your manual for the correct tire pressure and check it out. Can't hurt.
