RR tracks or similar humps in the road are another good indicator. With good shocks, the suspension will absorb most of the bump, and immediately settle with no more than one bounce. Bad shocks will allow the springs to bounce twice or more.
Seems unusual for shocks to be blown after less than 20k miles, but anything is possible.

Yeah thats what it felt like to me. If you ever have watched initial D when the main charcter feels soemthing unexpected and he makes that surprised face and there a pause in the music. Thats what it felt like when i made that turn. Like something didnt feel right i was about to loose control. Even though i have made that turn many of times as simular speeds. So i had to respond and try to regain control of the car.
The word bodyroll may be the incorrect terminology for what i experience but it was the only word that came to mind to describe what i thought i was feeling.
