Diving Board sounds on bumpy roads?
Looking to confirm a problem.
I have a 1998 3.8L with 1995500 miles. When I go over big bumps there is a sound from my right rear that sounds like a diving board after someone has jumped off. I assumed that is was the rear struts needing replacements so I asked someone to look at it and I mentioned the struts. Of course they said I needed new struts all around. I accept that. What I want to make sure is that replacing the rear struts will fix the diving board problem and that these guys aren't just saying struts because I said struts and they just want the $$. Any one want to give me their take on the problem? |

Re: Diving Board sounds on bumpy roads?
Oh yeah, that's an error. I will be happy just to reach 200,000. Extra zero got me, should have used the comma and I would have noticed the error.
Thanks for the response. I will have the struts replaced. The only thing that bothered me is that the noise isn't really a clunking but more of a boinging. |

If it bounces excessively when driving rough roads or after hitting a bump, simply you need to replace the struts.
