Hi,
I am new here so looking for some help from you guys. Had my car MOT 'd last week. It failed and the suspension bush was changed, tyres also replaced. Since then, my car seems to feel every single lump and bump in the road. I mean EVERY one.
I have looked and my MOT has an advisory from the front suspension arm to also be changed, but not enoigh to fail the test - whereas the nearside suspension bush was.

Could this alteration in one and not the other be causing such an uneven and bumpy ride?
Thanks

Have you checked your tyre pressures?

Yeah, the tyre that was apparently changed went flat in 5 days. Took it back and watched them change to new tyre. Checked all the tyre pressure for all four tyres after this - they were at a steady 33psi. Will check again in the morning. If they have gone down again, what do you suggest?

Were the new tyre(s) put on the front? Tyre make before and after?

Yeah, two new front tyres.
The tyres were the same before and after.

Were they balanced?
