Read a post about struts being bad in '06's. i got an '06 that was built in jan. and i noticed that it makes a popping/clunking sound when i turn sharp to go up into inlined or recessed driveways. i haven't seen any leaks though. do i have this recall strut problem or is this normal, and if i do, does pontiac fix it for free under warranty?
It sounds exactly like what happened to my car about a month ago. Mine was born in March 06. Before my struts went bad, I had that same noise coming from my front driver side wheel. Come to find out, or at least what my dealer told me was, that I had a "front stabilizer link" go out, i believe its some type of rubber bushing they put in on the suspension bars. The noise was irritating as hell. After I had that replaced, about two weeks later, I noticed that my front struts started leaking.:willy:
It took almost four weeks to get them in, but I had them installed now for about a week and a half, and the cars drives smooth again, the way it should. I havent had the best of luck with this car since I bought it about two months ago to the day, but I still love it to death. Im just hoping for better luck, but, who isnt!
Take it to your dealer, and have them inspect it. If you have a good dealer, they will work with you.
Good luck!
:cheers
