2003 convertable ride
I just recently purchased a 2003 collectors edition from Toyota in Jacksonville, Florida with only 19000 miles. The ride around there and back to Ms on the Interstate was fine. But later on the back roads around here the ride was very bad, I later found out that the previous two owners had left the shipping pucks in on each shock which I feel like the dealership which originally sold the car should have removed. After simply removing the shipping pucks I have a great ride. Thanks to the two previous owners I have a great ride.

That's been a problem that has been posted about a lot here on the forum. It is amazing that those shipping pucks were left in all those years.

Yes I did try it out and the roads around there and the roads back home were smooth, it was not till I drove on the back roads around here, I was almost ready to get rid of it when I discovered the problem.
