Perhaps anti-roll/sway bars or spring stiffeners could help reduce it slightly? After installing the anti-roll bars, my car feels more stable when crossing humps.

Second that, KYB makes a different from stock shocks. 2 different cars changed to KYB better handling and less noise
Yes kyb G series should be cheap and good. Very lasting too..

I driving a 8 year old Kia Cerato.
Everytime go over hump I feel like my car sway and bounce gaolat gaolat.

Sometime the feeling is like on a boat rocking and it keep bumping into the berth that kinda feeling. Sibeh uncomfortable.

Is there any mechanism to look for when changing new car to avoid such feel? What Air suspension and what not?
IMHO.
1. Tyre pressure between left and right are equal.
2. Typre pressure is correct for cold tyre pressure.
3. Tyre speed rating and size is per tyre placard.

Usually 8 years, time to change shocks but also have to depend on mileage.
Like my tyres, off by 5 kPA is noticeable difference.

Why people here cross hump will be unstable? They make sure all 4 wheels on air? All don't slow down and cross it? Then shocks not lasting if driven like this.

Sway install strut bar.

Bounce you can install harder springs. The car wil become very stiff though.

Change your anti-roll bar to bigger dimension, install back wheel and front wheel struts for stabilizing.

On a side note, normally a car manufacturers aredy calculate the best wheel size for the car ...

Many itchy backside including myself go change bigger rim, tyre width, end up car more hard bump .... DLLM :o

Sway bars are actually quite common stock these days. If TS is experiencing serious wobble, my feel is that the sway linkage is broke.
