Strut problem?
Wiser heads than mine needed please . Went over a speed bump with o/s only and it seemed the suspension banged straight through without any damping effect . This was at slow speed which BX's don't normally even react to, so I'm really puzzled. Pushing down on both sides gets the normal bounce so there's no difference when stationary

Mine never bottoms at the front, but it's quite easy to get it to bottom out at the rear, coming down off a regular speed bump at about 30-35 mph... whereas it's impossible on the GSA because the suspension feels far more inter-connected, if that makes sense.
An underdamped rear: I'm wondering whether I have the right spheres on there, or whether it's the damping valves.
