Just purchased a 96 Eclipse GS with 124K miles - looks like it has new struts (and it has almost brand new tires). The problem is I am hearing a clunking noise, almost metal-on-metal sound coming from the rear strut area. - and when going highway speeds and turning left corners, it will all of a sudden sway left/right/left and feels like the car is going to go out of control almost! Wheel lugs are snug, don't feel any obvious play like in wheel bearings, so I'm thinking maybe bushings in the suspension? I was going to take it to LesSchwab for diagnosis today, but my son had a dentist appt. and didn't feel well enough afterwards (don't blame him!) I need to get it fixed ASAP - we'll probably do the repairs ourselves to save cash.....
