Just got 1st Gen! Now... Strut question
After some searching, I just purchased a 1st gen! It's an 85 GSL with 61,000 miles. Interior and exterior are in nice shape. Runs good (well, surely not as fast as my Mustang GT, but it handles a hell of a lot better).
I have a question... getting a lot of noise from the front right of the car. Very noticable when I drive... . almost sounds like something bouncing around.
If I park the car, walk to the front, and press down on the fender above the right strut area, it's pretty noisy. At such miles, could I need struts and or shocks? Any idea on what this will cost?
Thanks for the help...

Take it to a suspension shop and get a suspension safety check. It's probably needs new shocks, depending when they were last changed. Also, if it's a new car to you, it might be good to now what kind of condition the suspension is in.
Just a thought.

A safety check can be really cheap, a specialist shop in australia does a 28 point suspension and steering check for US $7. Its well worth having it done as few service places have the right tedting equipment for measuring suspension performance.
To RotorMotorDriver, two cars with over 200k, plus one at 180k plus one at 80k equals four cars not three, No wonder you are having problems getting a job. Anyway congratulations on your family's improved financial position from a recent thread when your Dad had two cars and yourself one all in extremely poor condition and needing parts. You have been able to acquire a 80k car plus a body kit from Australia, when earlier you could not afford a muffler. Your faith must be restored.
