shock

Sounds like maybe one shock is gone....look under for oil leaking down shock tube as a giveaway. Even without a leak it can be shot. Find some speed bumps that have gaps and run over allowing one side to "shoot the gap" and feel the difference. The side with the bad shock you will definitely notice. If both aren't gone the ride still isn't too bad, but the other will soon follow.
