There is also the remote posibility that your tires are undersize or that the front springs have been shortened to lower the car.

I'm not driving on the curb, lol. There a curb entry at my bank that just dumps the front end whenever I drive onto the road. No cut springs, stock wheels/stock size tires.

I'll plan on replacing the shocks...

Thanks!

Sorry, but I couldn't resist.
Yes, then new shocks on all 4 should take care of the problem. Happy motoring!
