2003 Toyota Camry Issues.?

• 2 years ago i bought a 2003 Toyota Camry Altise V6 with an odo of 160,000km. For each year its done 50,000km, so 100,000km in 2 years of ownership. I had no major problems with it because i change the engine oil every 7000km. As much as im looking after my car, i have noticed some issues with its performance. And they are listed below: *I can feel every bump, every pot hole on the road through my steering wheel, it feels so uncomfortable. *Everytime i got over a speed hump, i can feel the shock through my steering wheel, and hear the front suspension making a noise, it sounds like there isnt any shock abosorbers to absorb the shock if you know what i mean. It doesnt absorbe shock from the road at all. *When i cruise at low speeds under low revs, for example cruising at 70km/h, i feel the car jolt, and jerk. Its not a smooth drive anymore and it really annoys me. I dont know why it does that. *When i accelerrate fast from stop, my car takes time to gain power and speed, it doesnt change gears evenly and it annoys me because it jerks when it changes gears. *Its sluggish (slow) on acceleration. *My tyres sound weird, as if somethings stuck in them, i checked my tyres and theres nothing in them. The sound can be heard, and i can feel what evers wrong with my tyres on my steering wheel. I cleaned the throttle body, changed the oil but after acouple thousand kilometers the same issues stated above occur again. I checked if my car is smoking out from the exhaust, which i cant see, so i dont see smoke, but if there was how could i check if my cars smoking out of its exhaust. How can i know if my cars smoking if i cant see it when im driving. PLEASE help me, give me your opinions, i want to fix these issues before it ends up being major problems. What should i do for my car? What should i ask my mechanic to fix so i know he wont rip me off?

• Answer:

  Your front struts need to be replaced the tires im not too sure about could be something with the brakes and it sounds like your engine and transmission just needs a tune up worst case scenario for the fact you are losing power is your car is not running on all 6 cylinders which isnt anything serious but if you plan to keep the car for awhile i suggest getting it fixed
