I thought stock suspensions were naturally smooth ? At least mine were when I had them on.

New tires-- probably Grand Touring type, if your suspension is stock-- and tire pressure at the door sticker recommendations.

Depends on your tolerance and prior car experience-- the TL is a bit firmer than most family sedans.

You can go for softer shocks. Don't lower it either.

How many miles on the car? Condition of the tires? Maybe its just time to replace some things....Ride quality certainly will diminish as parts in the suspension wear out, or if your tires are crap.
