Consumer Description

TOOK CAR IN TO REPLACE STRUTS DUE TO CLUNKING SOUND WHILE GOING OVER ANY SURFACE THAT WAS NOT PERFECTLY SMOOTH. TURNS OUT THE SWAY BAR AND BEARINGS WERE FAILING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. APPARENTLY I WAS VERY CLOSE TO A POSSIBLE BAD ACCIDENT. IT WAS QUITE COSTLY TO REPAINT AND I AM FINDING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM GM IS AWARE OF.
