Hard, jarring, harsh ride over holes and road imperfections
I recently acquired my 2015 LR4 HSE Lux. When driving on most pavement, the ride is fine. If there is a small pothole or indentation in the road service, the ride is jarring. I thought with the air suspension it would absorb this. Driving my other cars, a 2024 Lexus GX550 and my 2024 Subaru... -
