Re: Impala LS 2001 strots and shocks

Sounds more like the struts are worn out especially if they are the originals or never replaced. Since you have 80K miles the struts are most likely due for replacement.

You can do the struts DIY. The only special tool required is a strut coil spring compressor to remove the springs after the strut has been removed from the car. After the work is done the alignment should be checked.
