Front end

[mvdbroek]

Has anyone had problems with the front end suspension on the Aurora?

There really isnt any known or common problem with the Aurora front end.


Whats up with yours?

Mines is at the shop now getting the front end worked on. But it was my own fault, didnt have any problems until that curb got in my way. What do you need to know? Check out my earlier post...

I just purchased a 2002 4.0. I feel like little things in the steering wheel when I take off and on some cornering. It feels like thinngs are loose and the play comes when there is torque on the system.
I used to have a car that I could feel the brake pad move a bit on take off and braking but this is more like suspension.

Thanks

try typing the word steering in the search window at the top of the aurora page and im sure you will find some earlier posts that will help you out a great deal or you may even try the word "suspension", or try them both. Hope this helps. I have a 95 and havent had any steering problems "as of yet". Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry I couldnt be of more help

Ya i did that first and got your earlier posting. I guess Ill take it to the dealer and see what they say

Ive had the car 1 week. Its gun metal gray with chrome wheels, NAV system and Satellite radio. I like the power and comfort.
Sounds like you like your car. Any recommendations?

Sorry man I didnt realize we were talking about a NEW Aurora here. The new model Auroras do have steering and front end issued. I know there are a few TSB's out about these problems. Cant remember what exactly , but your dealer will have the info. Go get it checked out because ther are problems. You might even get it fixed for free ???

Thanks for coming back to me on that. I will give the dealer a call

[mvdbroek]

is tere any where on the web that i can see which tsb are out there for this vehicle

Go to the Aurora forum on edmunds.com. I know for a fact the guys there have discussed the issue in depth. If you search you should find what you are looking for. Sorry I dont know where to get the TSB info myself. I know it entailed lubrication of the steering rack and popping noises ect........
