Ruff ride

I have a 1989 Toyota 4x4.While going down the road it seems that any bump I hit is very rough and loud.Even the reflectors in the middle of the road causes this.I have changed shocks and ball joints and tie rod ends and it didn't seem to help.Im thinking all of my rubber bushings are worn out.Any help is appreciated

Just what are you comparing this rough ride with??

It is a truck if it is being driven around empty they do tend to ride rough.

Are you hearing metal on metal banging going over the bumps.

Is it all over the road in a scary way when driving??

Have you driven it with 400 to 600 pounds in the bed??

Is this a pickup or 4runner?
Pickups have leaf springs in the back. If the springs are flat it will ride rough.
Also, if your front torsion bars are cranked it will ride rough.

In my truck I run 45 psi in the rear 35 in the front.

Only empty do I notice a little bounce.
