The mechanic even went for a ride with me, and said it was supposed to feel like that over bumps. Well my husband and I both know how the ride was before and after, and there was a definite difference - just no way to prove it.
Maybe next time before I let anyone do major work on my vehicle I need to attach recording acceleratomers before and after.

Silverlady, just wanted to mention two things to you regarding your ride that you might or might not already know to improve your ride.
1) I felt a front end distracting vibration after the fix that the service department could not explain. I just got it back Friday after extensive testing and the only thing found was that the tires were very "out of balance." I paid $70 for a tire balancing and now my front end vibration is gone.
2) After my original clunk fix, I had the exact same ride issues you describe and accidently discovered how to fix the problem. I simply cycled the ride height thru medium-low-medium-hight-and back to medium one time and my smooth ride returned. I have no idea why this worked, but I have been told my many others on the forum that it helped them as well.
Hope this helps you!
