I have 172k km on my 08 TL type s and im starting to notice that my car just handles bumps harshly, idk if thats what stiff suspension is for or what but going over potholes is very jumpy and wobbly.

anyone experience this?

Also another quick question instead of opening another thread, my car is leaking oil slightly under the front and my mechanic told me that it could be the seals and that could be a $500 job to replace them, now my question is this, is it worth it doing a 3x3 ATF right now or after i change the seals? What would have to be drained if im already taking my engine out the car?

There is no set mileage to have shocks/struts replaced, but at 106k miles I'd say that they are fine and have a lot of life remaining, unless there is evidence of leakage/damage.

As far as seals, it would be a good idea to find out what seal(s) is leaking as that would determine the time/money needed for replacement and the method required, and I'd do the 3x3 after having the car repaired.

It would have 2 or 3 drops of oil on the driveway if i leave the car parked overnight for 2 days would that considered still minor? I mean the car has 172k km does that play a role? maybe i should switch to high millage oil in my next oil change?
