I guess your rear dampers are getting weak, replace them. Also get the front ones overhauled.

Isn't. 50k kms too early??M800 shocks easily last 70k kms(from my experience).

It might be due to bad roads and our Rakesh's driving style ha ha..

True, my roads are really bad and my driving style also a bit different. Yes varun knows that because I discussed about wheel spinning, skidding and all

I will replace the dampers on 50K service
