Is it usual for a Xantia to bounce after hitting a pothole or going over a speed bump at a slow speed. :?: :?Sorry folks could not find my original post

I cant remember what everyone said, but, no it shouldn't. I would suspect that you have one or more u/s spheres. Try bouncing each corner of the car with the engine running. Each corner should move up/down at least 3" probably nearer 6". the ones that dont, need new spheres.
