Rough Ride

Rough Ride
I recently purchased an '08 C70 with 1.6 K on the odometer. This is the first Volvo I have driven since the late 1950's. There have been a few issues but it is quite clean and in good condition. There was a shudder under acceleration so I replaced the motor mounts and drive axles, which were shot. The car still has a slight shudder under heavy acceleration even after I replaced the spark plugs. The ride is smooth until I hit a bump in road when it feels like I'm driving a buckboard. Are these things normal?

If you hit a bump and the ride goes wack, you either have worn shocks/struts or worn suspension bushings. Do a visual inspect to look for any signs of oil leaking out of the tops of the struts/shocks by the piston and look for play in the control arms, ball tie rods, and sway bar end links. Any noises like clunking etc?
