I have a 2006 RX330. I notice that the ride is choppy on freeways with broken concrete sections (most freeways). I have about 9K miles on the RX. I have adjusted tire pressure, but this is first short wheelbase SUV I have owned (been driving mini vans with 119" instead of 107" wheelbase which the RX is). I have not changed the factory shocks.

Anyone notice the same thing and what to do about it?

 

Sounds about normal especially if you have the 18" wheels. Our 05 with the 18's tends to be a little choppy too on uneven pavement, but no where near as bouncy as our RX300 was. Having driven (and owned) several Toyota SUV's (3 4Runners, 2 Pickups, and 2 RAV4's) I'd say that the RX is about the smoothest of the bunch irrespective of the pavement condition.

 

No, I have the 17" wheels. Any other suggestions?

 

Try driving at a different speed.
