Suspension & Tire Experts,

My "new to me" '88 Wolfsburg has a harsh ride over the small seams in the
road.  It handles larger bumps without an issue.  Tires are "C" rated
Michelins, 80% tread and properly inflated.  I've never had this specific
problem on any of my other Vanagons and thought I ask the list before
blindly changing components.  Shocks?  Springs?  Hard tires was suggested by
someone, unfortunately, I don't have alloys on any of my other vans.  I
guess I could put steel wheeled tires on for testing.

Any thoughts or suggestions are sincerely appreciated.

Ciao,

Jeff
