What is bouncing in the suspension system?
The bounce in the suspension of an automobile is the compression of the spring and damper or shock absorber… These 2 (spring & damper) components keep the auto stuck onto the road instead of it becoming airborne when it hits a bump… influenced by the stiffness of dampers, springs and tires. The pure bounce is.
What should I do about my suspension bouncy bike?
By straddling the bike and applying the front brake you can push down on the bars and see how much travel you create. Make some adjustments and see if the amount the front end dips increases or decreases. Unless you are doing some aggressive drops try to use 2/3 of the travel. That will leave 1/3 to prevent bottoming out.

Why does the front end of my truck bounce?
The front end starts bouncing like its on a spring board. I can hit the throttle and make it stop but when I’m doing like 60 it starts really vibrating and the vibration will only go away with a change off speed. Spring bushings come to mind, bad shocks.

What to do if your car bounces back and forth?
Try the bounce test—when your car is parked, put all of your weight on the front end, release, and observe how the vehicle responds. If it bounces back and forth 3 or more times, the shocks and/or struts are worn and need replacing.
What should I do if my rear shocks keep bouncing?
In a clear parking lot, start with the car at rest. Accelerate hard and then brake hard. If the rear end keeps bouncing, your rear shocks may be worn. If the nose dips toward the ground upon braking, your front shocks may need replacement.
