The suspension on my V70 T5 feels much more stiff lately. From the driver's seat, it feels to me like the rear suspension isn't absorbing any of the road bumps. During the winter it was worse....yesterday was a warm day and I could hardly notice the problem. Any info or advice on this situation before I take it to the dealer?

Thanks for the reply...that's what I was thinking, but I'm obviously not much of a mechanic. I'm sure they're going o charge me an arm and a leg for new shocks. (EVERYTHING is expensive in Japan). Any recommendations on replacement shocks? It may be cheaper for me to order the parts on line and just pay for the install.
