a "clucking" noise? If it's a clicking noise, it may be the CV joints. If it's a clucking noise, it might be a chicken.
I had a clicking noise also, mainly when i drove over bumps. CV joints usually pop when your turning. my problem was the (sway bar links) . They are very easy to replace much easier on a lift , but i did it on the ground without jacking up the van ,and cost me less than $20.00 each at oreily's.
Chances are it is the bushings around the sway bar links. They tend to wear out really fast. I've had 2 sets replaced on a '94 Grand Caravan and they are doing it again. The vehicle only has 77,000 miles on it.
Struts and shocks have a life span of 50k miles.If your struts have started to leak,they need to be changed as soon as possible.
The struts need to be changed every other year.
The struts on a 1999 Chevy Prism are changed by jacking the vehicle up and removing the wheel. The struts are then unbolted from the vehicle while the tension is low, and new struts put in place.
Same part number for front struts with or without springs (loaded).
Front Rotors can be warped, or bad struts. Had a 90 Camry that steered like a boat on the highway, until the struts were changed.
I would say as little as possible, as they are ruining your tires.
The rear are shocks the front has struts. Rears shocks are a snap to change. Front struts should only be changed if you have the proper tools and knowledge as it can be dangerous.
Struts on a 1998 Buick LeSabre are changed by jacking the vehicle up, removing the wheel, and unbolting the strut. It can then be pulled from its mounts and a new strut put in place.
Not if they are struts - need a spring compressor
If you changed them yourself it is recommended that you get an alignment done or do the alignment yourself. If a shop or mechanic did the work they should have done the alignment themselves.
Struts.
It has shocks in the rear I believe. Not struts. Struts are in front.
