P3 V70 - Doesn't feel stable over uneven roads.

[m4tt]

Hi,
Recently bought a P3 V70, 57/2007 2.4d geartronic. Generally very pleased with the car and the thought that clearly went into the design details.

Not sure if this is a problem or just the fact the suspension is designed for comfort rather than speed/handling.

When driving over uneven surfaces or hit a pot holes the rear of the car (particularly NSR over drains) feels very unsettled almost like it is squirrelling. Reminds me of how my old 9-5 felt when one of the shocks had failed. Had a quick check this eve and couldn't see any obvious signs of failure on the shock.

So is this just how they are, or can anyone suggest what might be the issue?

Cheers.

Mileage is 54k. Feels ok at speed on motorways, not done much a/b road stuff. The unsettled feeling over rough roads seems constant, irrespective of speed.

Tyres are matching and new, all run at 2.6bar (as per manual). How best to check for seized calliper?

Thanks for all the replies. Took it into the local indy (who supplied the car) they checked it over and came for a test drive. No problem found, just me getting used to the characteristics of the car.
