i have had my 04TL for about 3years now. my TL normally rode smooth nd comfortable but now, its rides horribly. i can feel every bump on the road. i live in houston nd some of the roads here are horrible. i bought new sets of tires but dat did not solve the problem. does anyone kno why this is happening. i love a very smooth ride but am not getting dat anymore.

Not many things can be in play here.

1.) What kind of tires did you put on the car?
2.) What PSI are you running the tires at?
3.) Are your struts or bushing shot?

Describe what you mean by rides horrible. Are minor road imperfections being transmitted to the cabin? Are large bumps just unsettling the car?

Go push up and down on the trunk of your car and see if it bounces, that'll answer your question.

ohhh ok... i was suspecting the suspensions too. what do i do or what are the best suspension i can get so i can get back that luxury smooth riding.

Check the tire air pressure first. When the suspension components leak, the ride becomes very bouncy, not necessarily harsh, and therefore lacks of stability. The suspension components don't have a mileage or time limit as to when they are to be replaced, only when they are noticed to be ineffective.
