Thread: 130 and Gold Coast M1

Its definately the ripples in the road. For 9 years I have been driving from Surfers Paradise to brissy every day. I have changed my new cars every year as I worked as a service manager for a dealership.
I have owned a couple of dual cab utes that bounced the entire length of the concrete hwy. The worst one I had was a d40 Navara. Brand new and bouced that bad that I put the kids boogie board on the back seat with a shoe on top and video the board bouncing completely off the seat at every ripple. It only took about 20 seconds until the board bounced off the seat onto the floor. The bouncing was that bad that whilst trying to talk you sounded like you were getting karate chopped in the throat every second.
Unfortunately Nissan didnt care so I replaced the standard suspension and it made it liveable but definately not perfect.
I also had a ss ute which did it too but not bad enough to change the suspension.
every car ive owned with coil overs such as wrx and gtr did the same thing.
Maybe change the springs and shocks if its bad.
Good luck.
Michael.

It's pretty ordinary in my 110 as well but the worst section is when you go from Reedy Creek Road to the M1. Bloody disgusting piece of concrete.
