Talking !!!!!!!! wierd problem on my 2IS !!!!!!HELP!!!!!
well, it starting being very bouncy, but over the past couple of days has really gotten worse.

My warranty has expired on my car, and I just dont know what to do.

here is exactly what happens to my car when I drive and brake, and all these people keep staring at me with a shocked or laughing expression.....

Please help!!!

^^ exactly, thats gotta be it.
happened to my buddy in his old G30 or something like that.(old old g class infiniti) both rear shocks where blown, it was scary being in that thing. springs just keep bouncing and bouncing. thats what shock "absorbers" are for. to decrease that.

Wow, that video was hilarious. I seriously hope your 2IS is not bouncing that high though...

One way to check is just let the car sit, and bounce the car's front/rear end. It's only suppose to bounce once. More than one is blown shocks.
