bouncing down the road

Hello,

I am currently trying to fix our 01 civic ex that has developed a really bad problem with the suspension. Instead of driving down the road it bounces. I am guessing that the shocks are gone but what else might need to be replaced? It also has "wavy" rear tires that I was told is an alignment problem. What would you guys recommend. Thanks.

Bouncing is shocks. Get the alignment checked.

Make sure your wheels are tightened to spec. When the rim was last put on, it might of been put on incorrectly and a lugnut got caught on a thread which didnt allow it to get fully tightened.
