| Part: sway bars i had been experiencing a clanking noise coming from under the car. i thought it was the spare tire loose. had it checked it was tight. i thought it was the bar under the hood, the arm that holds the hood up. checked it and it was properly clipped. i had the problem diagnosed by a private mechanic and i was informed that it was the sway bars. private mechanic stated it is not a safety feature, but he recommended to fix as soon as possible. i had the sway bars replaced. i paid almost $200 to have them replaced due to the mechanic stated it was the roads i traveled that were causing damage to the suspension. not even a year later i require sway bars to be replaced again. is this really the roads that are so bad that sway bars are replaced yearly. *tr | |||

| I took vehicle in to private mechanic for wheel alignment. i was told that due to manufacturing quirk that one of the alignment adjustments to the wheels can not be accomplished. the dealer was unable to help either. i was told that a tire was improperly welded on upon manufacturing and a correct/appropriate alignment would not be possible. *tr | |||
