Lately My Steering shakes right and Left anytime I drive on rough roads but doesn't do so on clean roads what could be the Cause?

I've changed my lower arms sometimes ago and Ball Joints of recent also and my mechanic said "that my Tie Rods are okay" so I'm like what could be the Cause? Again

@Gazzuz:
Please, Sienna 02 runs fine as long as rpm is between 0-2.5(0-80km/hr) the car jerks at any attempt to increase to 100km/hr.

1.Change plugs
2.Changed Fuel Pump
3.Changed 2 coils (out of the six coils)

still no solution.

[NB: Transmission failed after using the car to tow another. The failed Transmission was retrofitted by installing "fibre" about a year ago.

Please help.

I've been using conoil golden super for my 1992 landcruiser for roughly 2 years now SAE40.
So i decided to try an imported Valvoline Premium Blue GEO LA SAE 40 oil in my ENGINE. And i noticed its a lot quieter, i mean so quiet that sometimes if I don't look at my rpm at while idling. I wouldnt know the engine is running.
Movement is alot smoother. U don't feel any jerks or load when it's switching to higher gears and even at high speed it doesn't roar like it used to.

The vehicle feels very smooth.
So I'm just saying should I stick to the Valvoline Premium Blue GEO LA SAE40 or go back to my CONOIL GOLDEN SUPER SAE40.

Cuz i got the car using conoil so I couldn't tell how the real engine sound is like till I switched to valvoline.
Can't even hear any tapping or clicking while the engine is running. I have an exhaust leak just after the catalyst converter and I dont hear that too. So is it ok? Its an inline 6 engine and I've done 1200miles since the last oil change and its still quiet as ever, engine temperature is a little below the previous level too. Still have vapours from the exhaust.

Please what's ur take and what do u think about my new oil. Though I've been using it on Gensets since last year and the Genset too operates quietly. Even friends I gave the oil demanded more. Over a year now no issues. So should I continue with it on my vehicle?

Gud morning house. Pls my Camry 08 has issue of slow acceleration from take off. But when it picks it drives smoothly. It shakes mildly when in traffic hold up or when it stop. The shaking or vibration reduces when its on park but pick up when gear is engage. No check engine light on and no fault shown when scanned. Pls help. Thanks

dicksonadams:
if you don't have enough money to buy the catalytic converter(45k to 100k) there is a cheaper alternative, get an 02 spacer (5k) and check out YouTube video on how to install, then get it installed by a panel beater (2k)

You can chat me up just in case you need assistance, thanks nurey and autologic for this alternative

Your contact pls, I need this spacer.

The 2.4L in the 07 to 09 is an oil burner and can even collapse with the usage of wrong oil and bad change interval. The 2.5L in 10 to 12 is a better engine.

Engine is between 250 to 280 for the 2.4L I am not sure about the transmission but the 07 had several transmission complaints.

We always advice if you can afford the Camry with a 2.5 engine just close eye and buy, but one fitted with 2.4L isn't bad either since you know it's issues you can easily up your maintenance for it to last
