Ride Quality Getting Worse.

Ride Quality Getting Worse.
My ride quality is getting worse all the time. I am starting to feel every bump in the road. My compression rod bushings are making noise so I suspect these need replacing. Would the bushings cause my ride to fall off or the shocks responsible? The car does not have any excessive bounce/sway indicating shocks are worn out. My car has 99,000 on it and I am not hard on the suspension. You could say I pretty much baby it...lol. My tires are Bridgestone Serenity and are not even 1/2 worn so I know this isn't the problem.

I also have some problems with ride quality. I feel every crack on the road and sometimes here a thud sound coming from the passenger side. Will ask my mechanic about the shocks maybe thats my problem. My gear box is also rattling when I hit them cracks which is annoying.
it depends on what you replace it with and what the mechanics in your area charge for labor. I'm afraid to ask, when was the last time you had an alignment?

I thought a failing shock absorber would contribute to a more bouncy ride and/or leaks not result in the dampeners being tighter.

Maybe on a car with super soft springs like a Buick, but not on a G, even one with the non-sport package. The springs are pretty stiff and when you hit a bump, that undampened recoil will across as harsh and aburpt.
