Default '94 Camaro Z28 Suspension

Alright kind of a newb question here, but this is the first Camaro I've owned. The suspension is real tight, I feel every bump and rock in the road. Is the stock suspension supposed to be that tight?

*EDIT* Sorry for posting in the wrong forum, didn't notice the Suspension board towards the bottom

worn parts in the front suspension will magnify bumps. could be struts or ball joints. have a look at the stuts and see if they look really old. could also be out of alignment.

Also check to see that your tires aren't overinflated to the point of being as hard as a rock.

outer tie rod ends are common to failure also and are easy to change. if your steering is tight then i wouldnt think thats an issue. last 6 to 8 yrs for me.
