Suspension Judder

[NoseyReporter]

Question to the collective.

Does the Gravity feel like it has excessive suspension judder? I immediately noticed it as soon as I was driving home from the delivery center, but just assume it was acceptable. Over rougher roads, it feels the car is moving side to side. I'm not stranger to stiff suspension, but the feeling in the Gravity is very different.

This weekend for the first time, I had people in the middle row and they immediately commented about the rough ride. Has anyone else had passengers comment on this? It makes me wonder if there is an issue with my suspension.

The easiest thing to do is head over to the local showroom and test drive another Gravity, but I figured I'd ask the collective and see.

Do you have DHP? I've never felt what you are experiencing. Does it feel like vehicle roll or like there is some sort of compliance laterally?

I haven’t felt it. I actually feel like it absorbs bumps and other road issues incredibly well.

That said, I DID notice my ride got rougher when I started getting the “air suspension degraded” alert. My Gravity is “stuck” at the standard height and it’s clearly a tougher ride than when I first got it. It’s not a bug for me - it’s actually degraded. So, it could be an issue with air suspension.

I know you live near me. Wanna meet up at Carcadia this Sunday and we can compare?

Bahhh! I'm headed to Santa Barbara this weekend. But that's actually a great idea, we totally should.

I definitely felt something was up the moment I rolled off the lot but assumed this was typical of car that weighs 6000 lbs. My track car has decently stiff springs, almost 1000 lbs/inch and it doesn't feel like this.

It's almost like something is wrong with the valve in the strut, but maybe it's normal.
