Bumpy Ride in TSX

I'm a bit of a but i'm really worried about my tsx. I can't think of how its related, but ever since I took it in for an oil change at the dealer, my cars been having a bumpy ride. No matter what the surface I'm driving on, it feels like uneven pavement and, i don't know if its in my head, but it feels like its mainly the back tires.

does anyone have ideas what could be wrong? could they have affected the suspension or is it just too much air in the tires? I had to drop the car off so I didn't see what they did and now i'm really worried, especially when i have to drive from washington back to california next week.

Well I just checked and pressures fine, 34-35psi on slightly warm tires.

Also checked the bolts as zidenx recommended, but those are good too.

I can understand that you're worried, but Dan Martin and supraken gave you good advice. You don't need your dealer to check the tire pressure for you, do you?

I thought he checked the tire pressure already.

I have an idea -- check the tires to make sure there's not a nail or something wrong with them. That could give you vibration, particularly if it changes based upon speed.

Good luck!

Yea, I did check the pressure. I'm also going to see if it might just be balancing on the rear wheels. I know its not hte fronts. I've been checking the tires with a cursory glance, but i'll look at them closer again.

thanks everyone.
