my ride is shit!

i have kw v2 and i recently hit a pretty large pot line. since then my ride has been stiff and i feel that its degraded since then.

i'm trying to isolate my problem. is it my coilvers that require replacing or does it have to do with the suspension components like strut tower brace, control arm, tension strut, wishbone/rod set, or subframe bushing.

how would i know or to pin point the source of the problem? FYI there is no noise except for my squeeky brakes

Don't worry if you don't get it. It's an OLD reference dating back to the 80s to pot.

Yeah, but it's still popular and found in today's lyrics. Missy Elliot etc

Take it to a mech and see if anything is bent, out of spec, etc. Be sure to post your results!!!
