<< Ah, but what shape are the strut bearings in?? I bet they are in need of
replacement. Some of the symptoms you described are direct indicators of
the strut bearings going bad, which, doesn't take long for them to
degrade to a worthless hump of rubber. Usually people notice them when
the bearings are hammered and are making clanking noises while comming
down the street that they live on. >>
I would have to agree with this diagnosis Shawn gave from MHO. I just went
through the same situation about a month ago. Everything I thought was broken
was actually in great shape. I finally stripped the struts off and replaced
the "strut bearings" and Waaaa Laaaa she was like new again.
