"Carl" does have a point about getting the suspension inspected. If I didn't make that clear ALREADY, in the second sentence of my previous post, by all means, do so for peace of mind. That's what I did after a violently jarring experience when I ran over crater-like potholes carved by burst underground water pipes in the middle of the night, compounded by a period of time when I dove into dips as if they were foxholes in addition to my, needless to say, daily commute on some heavily-cracked-asphalt streets comparable to the ones found in Tijuana. These very streets I drove my brother's Camry into, at the same speeds, but his car's suspension handled the terrain more eloquently. Where I get the idea that the 850 CAN be a rough ride is probably because of my own experience and those shared by the consensus in this forum. But I still love my brick. So, have it checked as "Carl" has stressed; however, if your tech finds nothing, don't expect the ride to be smoother until you get accustomed to it, or have adjusted your driving habits, or both as I have.
