suddenly. what could it be? My car is not really that nice, but it's never felt like a rough ride. If I go over a pot hole or a bump in the road, it feels like the thing is going to come apart. The tires feel rough against the road, but the tires are only three years old I think since I last replaced all of them with $80 range tires from Discount Tire. Any suggestions? It's a compact. I take good care of it. No accidents or anything. Had major work done at the 50k mark five months ago.
