'01 Monte Carlo SS w/100k miles, serious suspension problemchops64 03-13-2006, 11:42 AM Ok, my 01 Monte SS just hit 100k miles seems to have all kinds of problems now. The main one being with what seems to be the front end suspension. I had it into Belle tire and they confirmed that the struts were well past their lifetime, so I had them replaced. Now the problem seems to have gotten worse. It's not as noticable when driving at slow speeds, but when I get it on the freeway up to 60 MPH+, my front end starts shaking like I'm driving on a really bumpy road, and loose swaying feeling as well. The slight sway (especially on a windy day) has been going on for a month or so now, but I figured getting the struts replaced would fix it. I made Belle tire promise to check all the joints and tie rods as well, and they couldn't find anything else wrong with it. They did say the Rack & pinion needed replaced because it's slowly leaking fluid, but I don't think that is related. This all started to get very bad on my way to work this morning, and I'm kind of afraid to drive it home now. I owned a '92 Lumina and a ball joint broke while I was driving down the road, and lets just say that wasn't any fun. To top it off I had it into the shop 2x before to have them check the ball joints and they said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
