well i spent $360 yesterday on 2 new rear struts and 4 wheel alignment.. makes a HUGE difference in ride.. lol

howd u tell ur struts were going out?

I got new struts all around a little while back...it was a good sign to get new ones when my car bounced VIOLENTLY on FLAT roads so much that it literally gave me a mild headache.

so a hard ride is a good sign? if so then that saves me a post cuz mine rides really hard and i thought our car were supposted to be semi luxury and mine ride like a sports car.

btw how much did u cost you for all four struts?

The ones on my 99 are still fine. However, the ones on my 93 were shot when I sold it. The easiest way for me to tell was that the car just wouldn't grab the road...especially on the expressway. It always felt like I was sliding on ice on the expressway. Almost felt floaty. If that helps...

how about when im on the onramp and i hit bumps the car kinda slids to the side like its in the air. and also the hard ride.

bounce the car up and down....how many times does it take to stop???

Yeah, my car slid to the side too, not a good sign IMO. Cost me $520 parts and labor for all four struts. That was a "Buy 3 struts get one free" sale though.

I float regardless.

Bouncing the car in the rear: nothing. Front: about 5-6 times for it to fully come back. Can you say shot front shocks? And mine floats.. and I love it, except at high speed . Since you live in Michigan, find a shitty road [shouldn't be too hard] and drive on it. Do you feel every bump? Roads that me mum'* vdub jumps around like a ******* wild bull, just has my baby float around like air.
