Is that normal wear&tear? Any damage that can come from it? Never had that before so strongly.
My understanding after reading a few threads in the past over @ Airliners is that even in most modern commercial airliners can and will experience a bit of bounciness under the right (or wrong?) conditions. The pilots over there state it's really just matter of Geometry and vertical speed.
They did mention that some planes are much easier to land consistently than others.
I've felt a few of those myself, usually only on particularly windy days.
