| Right rear strut pierced right threw the rocker panel, hitting the trunk as i drive, this happened last year and on my way home from work today 06/08/00 the left rear side went threw. i say this is a defect from the manufacturer. something like that just doesn't happen. i't also happpenend to a guy at work, same car same year, but his happened only 2 weeks apart. this must be a soft spot in the metal where it doesn't hold the strut down good enough. i can give you the guys name and he can tell you. he warned me about the other side going but i thought that was an off the wall thing. this is a problem. now i have to spend another 200 dollars to get that one fixed. please see to this. *ak | |||
