Now, even with the new KYBs, the ride is still bouncy. We'd expect that a mid-sized car like the Camry would have a smooth ride. Our 2011 CRV has a more tolerable ride than the Camry.

Any suggestion on how to smoothen the ride? Is there anything else I need to replace? e.g. springs? Or is this really it is given that it has low profile OEM Bridgestone ER-33 215/55/17 tires?

Appreciate your inputs.

Thanks.


you said your original toyota shock absorbers were STUCK? and you had replaced with kayaba shock absorbers. try checking and adjusting your tire pressure first. follow the specs in the owner's manual


were your shocks installed correctly? i.e.; extend upright, collapse upside down and let extend upright in the process of bleeding the hydraulic system of the gases it came with (your kayaba shocks are pneudraulic units)
