Question:

the front of my car bounces on take off help!?

When I take off and only when I take off from a stop, my car feels like it bounces from the front for a short period of time untill i press on the clutch again or simply reach higher speeds. I know my front struts are in good shape and so is my clutch and tranny. I was thinking it might be some bad motor or tranny mounts. After inspecting and coming to a conclusion, I think it might be the bobble strut. I have never replaced it and all other mounts look good. Is there anyone who could give me advice or also thinks it might be the bobble strut? As far as I know the bobble strut is there to allow the engine to move just a bit but it its worn then it might move excessively right? please help!!!

Answer:

need to raise car on a lift then run it and rev it and inspect the bottom of car while on life. if it raises a lot then a mount is bad. I have no idea what a bobble strut is but sure sounds like it's more likely the struts or springs. you should also inspect the bushings on the suspension
your shock absorbers are bad.
