Arcnxus, don't get your hopes up to much regarding college books.
If I remember some of my college semesters correctly it was about $700 for new books, I'd sell them back for about $100, and that $100 became beer money.

I bet if you swapped them for some new struts the car would ride and behave in a much different and pleasant way then you experience now. Your just acustomed to them and think it's fine when in reality they SUCK!!!!!

If it aint broke  Honestly, I never had a problem since day one. I don't feel any bumps at all but I do hear them. I'm also used to driving the caravan and bumps make themselves known. The GP seems like a picnic in comparison.
