Most likely causes

  1. Worn shocks or struts — Dampers lose their ability to control spring motion — the car oscillates instead of settling.
  2. Leaking damper (oil-streaked shock body) — Visible fluid on a shock means it's done.
  3. Cupped tires as evidence — Scalloped tire wear is the paper trail of worn dampers.

What to do

The classic test: push down hard on a corner — more than one rebound means worn dampers. Replacement restores braking distance, cornering stability, and tire life, not just comfort.
