I have noticed in the last few weeks my z seems to have a rough ride when driving on uneven roads. Any body had the same problem. I let some air out of the tires but did not help or does the z have a normal rough ride. It seems i feel every bump.

Thanks:

 

Ya on an uneven road the ride is rough. Its Sport tuned suspension. You'll get used to it.

 

What year is ur car? Are you running those hard *** Bridgestone tires?
I have an 07 with 2k miles and i feel the same way as you. In a couple months i'm gona switch to the All Season Pirelli P Nero Zero

 

Its a sports car...what do you expect? A Cadillac suspension? I guess one way to tell its not just your particular Z is ride in someone else's. Do you have coilovers, springs, rims???

 

350Z suspension is excellent.
U S roads are crummy.

 

My 07 rides pretty smooth far the most part, unless it its a real bad road. Even then its not too bad for a sports car.

 

Sports car + uneven road = rough ride...

This is obvious...

If you want a comfortable ride... buy a Cadillac.

 

Notice how you can 'feel' the road? Thats good feedback something thats welcomed in a performance oriented car.

 

exactly, "feeling" the road is what its all about. I love that you can feel every crack in the road, I like to know whats going on...

 

I wish you people lived in Manhattan then you would know what i'm really talking about. Dont get me wrong i can live with the ride but sometimes after eating i'm like damn!!!!!!!

 

hmmm I wonder how Idaho roads compare to New York. I know as soon as you cross the Oregon boarder, the roads immediatly improve 100%, our roads suck, probably not the worst though.

look at it this way, the Z is telling you the road is shitty, that way, you dont do anything to crash the car. Otherwise it may feel smoother than it really is, then bammo, you lose conrol, game over.

 

The 03-05 rides rougher then the 06-07s they got all the good upgrades, but my Touring is not bad on a good road, but rough roads or poorly paved roads it rides rough. I've owned just about every Z-car since the 280ZX and this is the roughest riding of the group but its also the best handling and most powerful N/A motor. As I mentioned the 06-07 are better and the 03-05 Track are worst then the Base and Enthusiast, the Track has the tightest unders suspension.

 

yeah, its bumpy. Sometimes I feel as a ricer on cheap spings...

 

There was a thread about this yesterday saying the suspension on all trims is the same. Regardless, the ride is pretty stiff!

 

+1. I like the feel of the sport car suspension. When I drive my wife's Honda suv I feel like I'm driving on jello. My wife complains she feels every bump when she comes along with me for a ride in the Z. So it goes.

 

Either get over it and get used to it or get something else.

If you like that feeling, then you would LOVE my truck. Wanna buy it?

 

I really don't understand these types of threads. I'm going to start a thread in a fishing forum and ask why my fish dies every time I take it out of water.

 

please, if you are not sure what you are taking about don't post and pretend that you do. thank you

 

its a sports car.
