96 850 glt wagon ride improvements

Post by 2forty »

My 96 850 glt wagon has 275000 miles. I have new tires and today I installed new motor mounts. What ride improvements could I make to soften the ride. Shocks are ok and no problems with suspension parts. Subframe bushings? What have you done??

What diameter of wheels are you running and what tires are you using (size/brand)?
