Hi
My 2011 Jimny does not handling great on poor road conditions. Slow or fast, when I hit corrugation, bumps, uneven surface it jumps around like crazy.
Any advise?
Fiona

as above, tyre pressures 1st port of call. I find 23 all-round works well on road.
also possibly worn dampers if tyres are ok. ;)

Mine is the same age and quite honestly it is more hot hatch than a lot of hot hatches . Is yours modified in any way, tyres, lifted suspension?

If you do a lot of that sort of driving, knackered shocks are definitely a possibility.
