My English Accent helps too! The ladies just keep coming! Sometimes I wish I could get some respite!

That's pretty crazy that the new ones are acting up too. I was going to change mine but not if it's going to be the same garbage GM put in.The banging in the back and the clicking in the front i can live with, but putting out all that money and having the problems come back, i couldn't. What make struts did u buy godenm? Were they GM or after market?

[godenm]

they were aftermarket,oem style,,dont remember what brand,i will have to go check.i really dont remember the old ones making that MUCH noise,not like these. i was actually thinking that the noise from the front had something to do with the way the springs were riding in the strut,but know that i know that there are other people that have this same prob then i dont know,all i know is that i live on a 1/2 mile bumpy road and its pretty embarresing to drive down it!

HAHAHA I havent had any problems with my 2003 Cavalier LS Sport. I love my car and it loves me back by not giving me problems. LOL. And a strut is a good way to walk. But if you do it wrong u look like you broke your leg.
