I got the car in Dec. 07 and the PPI showed new tie rod ends and brakes. The car has 325,000 Kms so I expect my question is redundant, however on rough pavement I get alot of shuddering while on the highway over dips and so it gives good control, although it doesn't want to run straight and i'm correcting alot. I can't tell from the record if shocks have been changed so I expect that would be a reasonable start. What else should I be looking at? BTW how firm should the ride be?
