okay, i don't know why, but now that i think about it, the demo 2k2 that i drove b4 i bought mine felt stiffer.....is there anything we can do? or did the dealership add sum eibachs without us knowing?

oh yeah......kinda a VERY noob question.....what's the difference between suspension and springs?

or nissan plant workers accidentaly put GLE shocks and spring onto your SE?


springs are part of the suspension system and shocks are something that suppress the springs from bouncing around. either of those two items can contribute on the car's handling and ride quality.

Suspension is several parts. Struts(Shocks), Springs, sway bar, control arms. The struts are placed inside the springs, compressed and installed.

I hope this answers your question.

I know how you feel. My SE feels like it is going to bounce off the road when I hit a bump. I should drive another one and see how it feels.

hmm.. is your car covered by the recall on the transverse links? if so, have you had it fixed already?

that "bounce off the road... bump" is exactly how driving the max felt before i had the recall done. Right now it's a lot more controlled and i no longer fear hitting bumps on the highway.

I had the recall work done but I still feel as though the suspension is way too spongy. It feels as though the whole car is bouncing. I have to stop at the dealer on lunch about rust spots so I will ask them about it.

Maybe that's my problem. My car has become almost scary to drive sometimes. I feel like I'm all over the place. It never handled that great, but now I sometimes feel like I'm going to fly off the road...at normal speeds.

I really need to get those guys to do all these recalls on my car...probably take 4 days.
