rough ride

my 99 3.0 has 82000 miles on it... it seems like a REALLY rough ride. to my knowledge everything is bone stock, i bought it used at 69000 miles from a dealership. going over bumps and little pot holes seems really rough on the car. it's very loud and it feels like it's just not right. any ideas on whats wrong? before i go and get it looked at, is this car somewhat a rough ride?

does your car have lowering springs or coilovers on stock struts?

No much. Just take a razor blade and maybe some wire cutters and cut back the plastic above the wheel.
