Consumer Description

NOISES COMING FROM REAR SUSPENSION ( DRIVERS SIDE). INITIALLY NOISE APPEARED DURING RIGHT TURNS AT LOW CORNER SPEEDS. NOW THE NOISE IS APPARENT OVER DIPS AND UNEVEN SURFACES. ACCOMPANIED BY THESE NOISES ARE MOVEMENT IN THE REAR SUSPENSION. THE SUSPENSION FEELS AS THOUGH IT IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. RIDE AND HANDLING HAVE CHANGED DUE TO NOISE. CAR RIDES LOPSIDED AT TIMES AND RUNS WIDE IN CORNERS AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THERE IS INCREASED BODY MOTION IN REAR AT SPEEDS ABOVE 65. THE INITIAL ESTIMATE OF PROBLEM, BY DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT., CONCLUDED THAT THE REAR SPRING WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. HOWEVER, THE REPAIR DID NOT RESOLVE THE SUSPENSION PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM COULD BE THE AXLE. *AK
