Lube the linkage ball joints with auto trans fluid.

Replace the nitrogen spheres on the rear suspension. This is a standard 100K mile replacement. when bad, the car does the bunny hop.

Thanks for the reply. "Nitrogen spheres" would be Aircells or Accumulators?

Yup...same thing. Use Leforder or Genuine.. I don't have good luck w/ the Corteco/Febi's

A quality silicone based lube works well for the linkage IME.
