Why is my ride bouncy all of a sudden???

I installed my Megan suspension like 2 months ago, and couple days ago, my ride started getting bouncy. I think its just the driver side suspension in the front. What should I do or what should I check???

At first, I had the dampening in the middle, and then I changed it to 22 front/23 back and it still bounces. What dampening do you prefer???

+1 for a blown strut. Quick check for oil outside the strut should confirm if that's the case. Not common, but stuff happens.

could it be because you are too low? I hope not, cuz i was planing to getting these to slam.. I beleive you are the first member on here complaining about a blown strut.

Does sound like a blown strut. Stiffen aall the way and see if it bounces that hard still.
