We have 120,000 on our one owner 2000 Avalon XL. Its quiet and smooth ride always amazed us from the day we drove it home. However, it has become signifcantly harsher and louder over the past year or so. I am confident it is not the tires. We took it in for its 120,000 service and asked the dealer mechanic to look at the suspension. Other than a couple of worn bushings, he found nothing wrong with the suspension. He said he felt the suspension had a little more "play" in it that it would have when newer, but otherwise he did not see any leaks and said it "looked good." He said we could try replacing the struts for abut $1,200 if we wanted to do so. It would be worth the $1,200 to us but we want to be relatively confident that is the problem. Any thoughts? Radsra
