I'm hearing a loud thunking sound when I hit bumps. My car is also rubbing on the right side. This is a picture of my right strut.. does she look blown?

 

mhmmm

 

Its gone, time to buy my SS/TC struts

 

what makes you think its gone?

 

my guess would be all the liquid crusted up all over it

 

its leaking

 

yes its leaking and needs to be replaced. mine was recently done due to the same issue. except yours is leaking worse.

 

Wow... That are not cool.

 

how many miles ?? u hit anything?

 

is that a crack on top as well?

in the housing?

is so, GM will not cover that.

 

That does look like a cracked housing..

 

its a known problem with these cars

 

gm better cover that lol

i would bitch until it got covered if it was my car

 

 

To thread Jack: My struts look like that too (at least the leakyness) and I was told at the dealer that leaking struts doesn't mean they're bad and said your all set to go. {{{orly?}}}

 

So I took my car into the dealership BOTH front struts were blown and leaking fluid!! 800 dollars to get it fixed luckily warranty covered it. I still don't know how both front struts got blown beats the hell outa me. Dealerships are SOOO ******* EXPENSIVE !!

 

???? thts bull you should sue for them putting you in danger. that is not normal and 100% blown.

a leaking strut is blown. period. needs to be replaced.

 

nope it's good for another 100,000 miles...

 

Why'd you start a second thread?

 

I had an earlier thread from awhile back. I started a new one but wanted to keep the old one up to date as well.
