Thought I would consult the prado specialists in regard to my 2008 GXL.
Bought it with 90k on the clock, now at 160k and she feels harsh even on small deviations in the road and feels a bit loose so to speak.
We dont do any heavy duty offroad, just dirt tracks with the odd rut/erosion hump sections (we don't offroad that much).
They look to be the standard shocks/springs, and I don't want to lift it etc.
Is it unusual to have shocks worn out at this stage?
Should I get all the chassis bushes checked out as well(figuring this contributes to the ride).
And lastly what shocks should I buy keeping in mind we don't offroad too much and highway comfort is a priority.
All advice appreciated and good to see a forum for the Prado, helps a lot .
