Correct answer
Excessive pitching: the front dips and the rear rises.
Excessive pitching, with the front dipping and the rear rising. Shock absorbers help control suspension movement; wear can impair stability and braking. Not every fault produces exactly the same symptom, and this does not establish a unique diagnosis. Have abnormal oscillations checked professionally; reducing speed does not repair the fault.
