BAD VIBRATIONS bouncing wheel

evening gentlemen
i was on my way home tonight traveling at 50mph when i hit a small pothole, at that point the front wheel started bouncing uncontrolably on the road I slowed right down till i almost stopped then it stopped. so then i carried on driving and it was fine, anyway my question is what could cause this is it a nackered shock absorber or could it be something else ?

Yes, it is a knackered shock absorber (damper, for khaos) or something else that could cause this.

excuse me there is us wimmins on ere anorl ya know


I agree with gratch ....shock absorbers knackered. :hysterically_laughi
