What owners wrote

While going 30 MPH, vehicle was broadsided by a 1988 chrysler moving in excess of local speed, vehicle lost control/flipped over three times, resulting in injuries and extensive damage.

June 1997 CrashInjury

Rattling in front end over minor bumps. Shocks already replaced, front-end checks out by mechanic. Also, popping and slipping of front-end into turns at slow speeds and right after a turn. It sounds dangerously like front-end is going to fall apart. I heard it's expensive and everything checks out so I desperately need help before I discard the vehicle altogether.
