| 2001 | SUSPENSION | WHEN TURNING CORNERS A CRUNCHY NOISE WAS HEARD. *AK *SC |
| 2001 | SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS | LEFT REAR SHOCK WAS RATTLING AROUND WITHIN THE COIL SPRING. UPON INVESTIGATION, FOUND THAT THE UPPER SPRING/SHOCK MOUNT, WHICH IS ALUMINUM OR AN ALUMINUM ALLOY, HAD DETERIORATED SO BADLY THAT IT HAD SEPERATED INTO 5 PIECES. THIS PART LOCATES THE UPPER END OF THE REAR SPRING, AND HAD IT NOT BEEN CAUGHT, COULD HAVE ALLOWED THE SPRING TO MIGRATE INTO THE TIRE, POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS CAR HAS 70,000 HIGHWAY MILES, AND IS KEPT CLEAN, AND STORED IN A GARAGE EVERY NIGHT. I WILL BE REPLACING THE RH SIDED SHORTLY, AS IT IS SHOWING SIMILAR SIGNS OF ROT. I HAVE THE FAILED PIECE, AND HAVE DIGITAL PICTURES IF INTERESTED.*AK |
