I got a new ride!!
Well Cherry, has 98,000 miles on her, but had a clunking, loose sound in the front suspension. Something was worn out.Also had the creaking groaning dry strut sounds.
So I changed out the front struts, and strut mounts, rear shocks, front wheel bearings/hubs. Turns out the loose, clunking was a worn out, outside tie rod end. So I took it to the shop for new tires, had them change the tie rod ends both sides, and alingment.
So with all that dont, she rides like new, nice and smooth, and quite. Ready for 98,000 more miles.
Love the new Michelin 255/45 ZR18, Pilot sport AS 3's. you just cant buy a smoother, quiter riding tire.
So glad I was able to do all the work myself, other than the tie rod ends and mount the tires. It was like over $700.00 for parts alone, cant imagine what a shop would have charged me.
