Default is this normal?

If I or a passenger in the car moves their leg from side to side then the car does the same thing. Is the 97 es that light or is there something wrong?

How heavy are you / passenger? And how fast are you moving your legs?

I'm 170 and I was just moving it from side like the motion of the windshield wiper and not very fast. I realized that awhile back. Then last night I had female passenger that weighs about 110 and she was moving her legs and the car was moving again following the motion of her legs.

Car shouldn't move.

Are you sure the car was moving? Or just your heart beating so hard from the motion of her legs?

Yes its normal I dunno what everyone else is talking about saying its not normal. Just about any car you sit in if say you are at a stop light if someone is shaking their legs yes you will feel it in the cars suspension. It is even more obvious in our Lexus's because they have such a soft and mushy suspension.

Infact a perfect example is havent you ever been sitting at a stop light and the crazy chic in the car in front of you is singing and dancing moving all over in the car and you see the entire car bouncin all over the place. Thats exactly what your car is doing. YES its 100% normal every car does it, how pronounced it will be depends on how stiff or soft the suspension is.

Huh? What part of this thread isn't civil? I'm confused!?!? Maybe it was meant for a different thread.
