I bought my new S60 ('09 T5 AWD with 33k)and I have a concern about the quality of the ride over bumpy roads. Both the front and rear suspension seem pretty unforgiving..especially the rear. I have no loose or busted or worn out parts that I know of. There is no banging noise, its just that there seems to be no cushioning of the bumps. The car currently has Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires at 35 psi. I have tried a lower air pressure which doesn't make a differance. My previous car had the Goodyear Comfort tread tires that were amazing BUT they can negatively lower your gas mileage. I have heard that the S60 uses some plastic suspension parts instead of rubber....Any thoughts, greatly appreciated, Bill
