Hi, I am new here. Over the weekend I purchased a 2006 V50 with 130K. I absolutely love the car! It looks, runs, handles great except I noticed on the drive home (from Massachusetts to Brooklyn, NY) that the entire car seems to shudder when I go over a bump (not surprisingly I noticed it more and more the closer we got to Brooklyn). At first I thought it was just the stiff suspension I read about, but now I suspect there is something else.
Engine mount? shocks? (I have NOT yet had it looked at by a mechanic)
Thanks!

 

Front struts commonly leak and the rear bushing in the front control arms commonly tears. I'd check those.

 

Great. I will check them out. thank you!
