Seriously though as a Diesel Mechanic (yes I am qualified and no I don't work as one any more because I used to break nails all the time) your problem could be any number of things, shocks, bearings, suspension bushings, CV joints etc. Easiest bet is to buy a service manual from your local auto shop and run through the diagnosis section. Find out what you think it is and then go to a mechanic and say, "I think my xxxxx are shot because the car *regurgitate the symptoms in the manual*" Watch the car get fixed quickly and the price be reasonable if the mechanic thinks you know what you are talking about..... Fluffy dice are never the cause of any mechanical problems..........Cathii Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03199907804621618221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075435.post-1116283863939026242005-05-16T23:51:00.000+01:002005-05-16T23:51:00.000+01:00Yay!

If it comes back to level nicely, it's OK. If it bounces up and down more than once before stopping, the dampers are toast. <BR/><BR/>Hope it's not to expensive.<BR/><BR/>llove<BR/>AngieAngie Harperhttp://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/angie_bi_tv2/my_photosnoreply@blogger.com
