SE with the 2.5l. bought it with 27,000 miles, it has 40,000 now. Replaced the the tires with Cooper css ultra touring. Ride got a bit better but stiff as hell. Softer compound helps.
When i hit those rain grooves, its all over the road. It doesn't have that boat effect when struts are worn. When I'm on new asphalt it drives beautifully, even with dips.
Are factory struts and shocks this stiff normally? Steering is tight and as should be.
I'm used to trucks, this is my first car in 15 years and first car with the electric power steering.
Any ideas?
