My x 2001 4.4 has sport suspension. I can feel every imperfection of the rood through the steering wheel!!!! Especialy on speed bump. I think that it is related to sp suspension???!!!!!!

yeah, this is normal then. A main criticism of these cars is how harsh the sport suspension is. Embrace it! I personally like the feeling, if you want a softer ride, go for a lexus..

NYC roads suck, but roads in Tbilisi are worse. I never felt damn thing in my X, but In Land Crusier Prado I felt and thought that it was piece of shit. Another potentially unfixed problem in your X. Man your trucks starting to feel like prado eh? )
