    Default 300zx bouncy

    my z32 is really bouncy for some reason? on flat land it rides fine, but if theres like a little bump or something, my z keeps jumping up and down from the rear after the bump, and feels like its gonna lose control? idk if the suspension is blown or what? any idea?
    the car is all stock so no lowering springs etc. either. and i have brand new tires on the rear.

    True, but it could also be his coil springs if they are the original ones. Over years and years of beating, they can lose their spring rate and become "mushy."

    not mushy enough to cause a drastic change like that. The shocks are whats supposed to keep it from doing that in the first place.

    99% sure
