She drives like a falling rock.
Hey Guys,
I was driving my 280 in downtown Baltimore yesterday, and she drives like a rock. Everytime I hit a bump, it sounds like she is going to fall apart. What can I do to make her run more smoothly over the road? I was thinking of new springs and shocks, anything else? I know sportscars are supposed to have a rough ride in general, but she sounds like she is going to fall apart. Let me know.

Sounds like it's time to replace your bushings. If so, get the urethane type. If you're mechanically inclinded you can likely do it yourself. New shock inserts at this time couldn't hurt either. Replacing the bushings will tighten things right up..........after 30 years or so, old bushings just get sloppy....hence the falling apart sounds!
