What does it mean if your vehicle keeps bouncing after you sharply press down and release on the bodywork over a wheel?

Explanation: If you find that your vehicle bounces as you drive around a corner or bend in the road, the shock absorbers might be worn. To test your shock absorbers, sharply press down and release above each wheel. If the vehicle continues to bounce, take it to be checked by a qualified mechanic.
