Message-ID: <334@wnuxb.UUCP> Date: Sun, 16-Dec-84 20:07:03 EST Article-I.D.: wnuxb.334 Posted: Sun Dec 16 20:07:03 1984 Date-Received: Tue, 18-Dec-84 02:42:56 EST Distribution: net Organization: AT&T - Warrenville Data Center, IL Lines: 14 For a while now, my 1980 Volvo 244 DL has been making a banging noise in the right front quarter when I drive it over some kinds of bumps in the road, especially when I am slowing down. After two repair shops couldn't find anything wrong, one told me that my suspension was shot. They said that I had "MacPherson Struts" (whatever they are), so it would cost a couple of hundred dollars to replace them. My questions are: A) Is this a likely diagnosis? B) Would I have to have all four corners replaced, or just the one that bangs? C) What is a reasonable price for this to be done? and for those in the Chicago area, D) Where do you recommend I have this done (north or southwest preferred)? Thanks muchly. -- Ronald W.
