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.
