Car: 2004 QX56

I couldn't find this topic in the threads. I have a 2004 QX56 which has always had a marshmellow suspension, especially when taking a corner. The dealer says nothing is wrong. Now that I have 40,000 miles on it, I was thinking that maybe replacing the shocks with superior quality, or different coils might improvethe ride, but I wouldn't know if 1) if that is true, and 2) where to shop for thecorrect best product. I wouldn't want to go through that expense for nothing.Can you help?

Generally rear shocks wear first so you should try replacing those first.Stiffer springs will require stiffer shocks which makes the problem worse.

Remember it is a truck and not a passenger car.
