Default Drove RS6 yesterday

The suspension seems to be a little floaty. The back end at one point seemed to bounce a little bit like the shocks were worn.
Could this be a symptom of a bad DRC? I did not hear any clunking.

Thx

I am a two year owner of a 2003 RS6, the DRC was recently replaced under factory program. The suspension was never floaty, either before or after DRC. Steering is generally inert, but suspension is bone jarringly hard, not floaty. Better after DRC replacement. I wonder how many miles the car has. It may need both new shocks and DRC.
