SUSPENSION:REAR:SHOCK ABSORBER
RIGHT REAR STRUT PIERCED RIGHT THREW THE ROCKER PANEL, HITTING THE TRUNK AS I DRIVE, THIS HAPPENED LAST YEAR AND ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK TODAY 06/08/00 THE LEFT REAR SIDE WENT THREW. I SAY THIS IS A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. SOMETHING LIKE THAT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN. I'T ALSO HAPPPENEND TO A GUY AT WORK, SAME CAR SAME YEAR, BUT HIS HAPPENED ONLY 2 WEEKS APART. THIS MUST BE A SOFT SPOT IN THE METAL WHERE IT DOESN'T HOLD THE STRUT DOWN GOOD ENOUGH. I CAN GIVE YOU THE GUYS NAME AND HE CAN TELL YOU. HE WARNED ME ABOUT THE OTHER SIDE GOING BUT I THOUGHT THAT WAS AN OFF THE WALL THING. THIS IS A PROBLEM. NOW I HAVE TO SPEND ANOTHER 200 DOLLARS TO GET THAT ONE FIXED. PLEASE SEE TO THIS. *AK
