1. i never read where adam was complaining of a steering problem. he said he is feeling a rattling or something not right.

2. i agree with the struts being bad. i had one that litterly rattle in the rear of my car. once replaced was fine.

3. i would do the struts before taking it to the shop cuz they are first gonna say you need struts.

4.i dont' know about other people here but my car had 82k when i change the factory struts they where junk. my KYB are pretty nice. My mom has a 99 gt 48k and it has factory and rides worse than mine did. i think GM fact susp is no good.
