97 1.8 Clutch changed. Front suspension feels hard - mondman

Hi folks,
Clutch started slipping two weeks ago so i shopped around and put it in for a clutch job at a local garage last week. clutch seems fine now but going over bumps / pot holes, the suspenion seems almost non existant. every bump on the road feels hard and unforgiving.
Any advice, susgestions would be great, thanks.
Andy

97 1.8 Clutch changed. Front suspension feels hard - Thai food man

Hi Andy

I have had my Mondeo 11 for about 10 months and ever since Ive had it the suspension was hard as you explained
Very disapointing. Years ago i had a Sierra so comfy a pleasure to drive but this Mondy is so hard and you can feel every bump.
Reminds me of Jap cars how they were when they first come years ago.

Anyway Andy did you do anything to improve the suspension like change shockers etc.??
Regards
Martin
