I find it hard sometimes to go through potholes, some obstacles like bumps etc smoothly. I have to engage the ECT PWR to do some of that. I thought the acceleration was not okay so I changed my plugs to no avail. Could it be an axle problem though I see some leakage around the axle case or is it gear-transmission related.

Hi Onyema,

I am wondering if you have a strut problem, does the car seem to have low power or is it a ride issue?

Best, Ken

I really don't know but once I try to cross some bumps or obstacles it becomes difficult making me think it's got to do with the gear system. Please help.
