vintagejoe Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 This car has 165K Has begun making groaning sounds from back when I start off at low speeds-- not brake related. Local mechanic said that the rear strut (s?) are defunct. Here's my question: What's the bad news if I try to nurse another 15K out of the car. Is there a danger point? Beyond that it runs fine-- mostly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 If its groaning with suspension movement, you can go as long as you want untill tire wear is affected, or handling (or you get sea sick). Groaning may just be tired seals in the top of the strut. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
