91LuminaEuro Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 On the way home from work last night,the ride in the lumina was very strange. It felt very roiugh (more than usual) and it felt like the passenger rear tire was bouncing alot. Once I got home i realized the pass rear suspension isn't moving AT ALL. So what i was feeling was indeed a ton of tire bounce. I haven't investigated at all into this, but the struts are relatively new. Any ideas what may be up? I'm gonna look at it tomorrow morning at the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 If the pass rear wasnt moving at all, seems like somehow that strut seized up on you. Atleast that what I would think.. How new are they? Also what was the temperature? Sometimes when its very cold the fluid gets pretty thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91LuminaEuro Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Its been in the freezing temperatures all week. I think the strut is seized, since i attempted several times throughout today to bounce the suspension and it wouldn't budge. (if it was due to temp i would have assumed at mid day when it was the warmest i would have gotten something) The struts are less than two years old. I had them all replaced not long before i bought my monte carlo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 my old lumina had that happen all the time in the winter, after i replaced the struts that was the end of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman093 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 They can get water in them too, especially if the boot is missing. Then when it gets below freezing the shock is frozen solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
