Default Rough Ride

I have a 2002 Altima that has been getting progressively worse over the past few months. It rides terrible. What should I have checked out on it? It is more in the rear of the car, but is not good all over. I had my oil changed today and the tech asked me if I had a lot in my truck because the tires were almost touching the wheel wells.

I would definitely start with the tires.

I have new tires on the car and they were just checked yesterday. It feels more like "bouncing" and bottoming out over bumps.

The rear shocks on these tend to leak quite often. Have the shocks checked.

I agree with mep235, here is a bulletin with information about the strut leaking: Service Bulletins Nissan Cars
