to really make it look good you'll need to set up a heirarchy that mimics the suspension system of a car. That way the chassis moves somewhat diffently from the wheels and axels. Then keyframe it every few frames.

i have tried like what u said, and it looks good now

i was thinking maybe theres some other way of doing it to make it easier or better
