Few Pic's after carwash.
As the title says here are a couple of pics after cleaning the car up.
Looking at that last pic it looks like the rear right strut sags. Any one know if it is more likely to be spring? or strut? |

if its was a dramatic drop all of a sudden i'm gonna say strut but if it was gradual, springs

Re: Few Pic's after carwash.
Unfortunately I dont know if it was gradual or sudden I just bought the car almost 20 days ago. I do know however that with no weight in the back seat or trunk it sits slightly higher, but when I put my kids, young not much weight to them yet, in or put anything over 40 pounds in the trunk then you notice it sagging.

The upper spring perch is a bell housing... Often times they rot out and collapse and cause the rear to sag... New mounts will usually take care of it

I assume you pull the rear struts to replace the mounts I read that the trunk liner has to be disassembled quite a bit is that true. |

You do have to do a fair amount of interior removal to access them, there should be a writeup on the board somewhere. Tom |
