Rough suspension
Have a 6 sp '03 30th anniversary with suspension codes FE1, FE9, FF5 and F55.
This thing rides so rough! It feels like its the rear suspension. It's a low miles car (24K).
Took the EMT tires off and still rides terrible. Are there any common issues on this?

Used to be a frequent occurrence here - a member with F55 would complain about a rough ride, he would be made aware of the shock stuffers and then all would be well after removing them.
