    My 2006 corolla, with 125K, rides rough. Will new shocks/struts smooth out the ride?

    if I recall correctly, dampers (aka shocks) only dampen the oscilations. Stiffness comes from springs. In other words, if your springs are fine and of the same stiffness as the ones that you wanna get as a replacement, there wont be any difference in how firm the ride is. In order to answer...

Label on the side of the door in my 2011 Corolla says - 30 PSI / 210 kPa for F as well as for R tires. Toyota Dealership noticed that all tires were 30/30 PSI, marked that during...
