Rougher ride

I may be imagining things but the ride in my 88' vert seems to have gotten much rougher. 3 of the 4 shocks were replaced about 2 years ago and i dont use the car during the winters. It seems that when I go over bumps I can feel the front absorb and then the back independantly. I am pretty sure before it all felt tight and took the bumps all at once. Im also getting way more noise from my top. Could it be with the top, im thinking suspension and im taking it to get checked out soon i just want to know what i may be heading into. Also at speed on the highway i really feel almost everything above 120-130 kms. I mean slight ripples and dips in the road. Anybody ahve any suggestions/ thoughts? Bushings perhaps?? thanks.

#1, you should always replace all the shocks/struts on the axle at the same time. Nothing worse for a new shock, than to be opposite of a bad one. So if you replace one rear shock, replace both rear shocks. Or if you replace one front strut, replace both front struts.

#2 did you check to see if you have any worn out parts, or are you just fishing for suggestions?
