Help! Shock? Strut?
front left side of my 04 has been making strange noise and bouncing more..so i took to dealer to get checked out. The guy told me the shock is bad. leakage they will have to order me new one. Now that I got home just saw the paperwork says verdict is LEAKING LEFT FRONT STRUT. NEED TO REPLACE STRUET-PARTS ORDER.
my question is..i know shock leaks.. but does strut leak?
why he said SHOCK broken but on the paper typped STRUT?...
.if it is either shock or strut..do i need to insist that they replace both? and will I need alignment after replacing both or either one?.....

Yeah, I think I have the same thing. I ran over some road debris and now my tires rattle when coming to stop sometimes. I have 500 miles. Is this covered by warranty or do you have to pay for the fix?

your tire rattle? or your steering wheel rattle when u stop? if u hit a debrie hard when braking. u may warp the rotor. resulting in steering wheel rattle when trying to stop. it would be covered

and yes. its absolutely under warranty. unless u modified something the it would void it. but they anticipate daily wear and tear. so it will be under warranty
