SUSPENSION:REAR:SHOCK ABSORBER
REAR SHOCKS ARE OVERLY FIRM AND DO NOT COMPRESS WELL. THIS SEEMS TO HAMPER THE STEERING CONTROL ON CURVY BUMPY ROADS. I PLAN ON REPLACING THEM MYSELF AT MY COST, BUT I HAVE HEARD FROM OTHERS THE SIMILAR PROBLEM ON THE GM W-CARS. (88-NEWER CUTLASS SUPREME, REGAL, LUMINA, GRAND PRIX). MOST CARS, THE SHOCKS GET BOUNCY AND SOFT WHEN THE SHOCKS WEAR, BUT ON THESE CARS, THEY GET OVERLY FIRM. AS IF THEY GAIN PRESSURE AND DO NOT WANT TO COMPRESS. THE DEALER WANTS $300. FOR NEW REAR STRUTS/SHOCKS, WHICH I FEEL IS ABSURD, CONSIDERING I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. THANKS.

THE WIPERS WILL JUST QUIT AT RANDOM. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THE HEATER CORE STARTED LEAKING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. BOTH BALL JOINTS WENT BAD AROUND 30,000 MILES, ONE UNDER WARRANTY, ONE JUST AFTER 36.000 MILES. THE POWER STEERING PUMP STARTED LEAKING AT THE PUMP SHAFT AND MADE A REAL MESS OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BEFORE IT WAS REPLACED. AND I DIDN'T REPORT YET THAT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD STARTED LEAKING OIL RECENTLY AND IS UNDER REPAIR RIGHT NOW. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEEDED ALOT OF REPAIRS THAT A QUALITY PRODUCT WOULDN'T HAVE HAD.*AK
