Sup all...

Im a newbie here and i just want to ask my first of many questions...

It's about my 2004 SE struts..

I brought it used this year with 14,000 miles on it and always noticed a knocking under the left side of the car when goin under light bumps. It drove me crazy. Now im starting to hear it under the right front of the car.

I called the stealership and was told that there have been a number of people complaining about the front struts and i have to bring it in tommorow.

Anyone else here have a similar problem or heard of it?

Thanks

 

Yes there have been some issues with struts failing early on the 2k4's. Not a whole lot of them, but a few. Check your struts to see if they look wet. That is usually the indication that the strut is blown (ie. leaking oil) and needs replacement.

CM.

First post on a new thread rules.

 

I had the front right strut replaced after 400 miles. i noticed a knocking sound when crusing even over smooth surfaces.
Dealer replaced. Then, it came back, and two more were replaced. It has been fine since.

 

My second time back witha new strut...... Supposed to get the '05 struts that have been made better.

 

Both of my struts are blown too..... This really sucks and I better get a loner car.

 

got aftermarket struts?!?!?!? impatiently waiting

 

I noticed that 'knocking' noise a few months back. I only get it when making long trips (about 200 miles) from Miami to Tampa. I never guessed it might've been anything with the struts. The replacement of these struts is it covered in the warranty??


BTW, that 'knocking' noise sounds more like a rock hitting the bottom portion of the car.
