      Leakings ?

      Hey,
      I just bought about 4 months ago a 2006 Aveo Hatchback with 35000 Km.
      I could hear a squeeking noise coming from the front of the vehicule. Also, when I turned, I did a deep clunck. I suspected the top plates bearing. I took the car to the dealer, and they found nothing. They told me they've check the suspension and direction of the vehicul and everything was tight. When I arrived home, I lifted the vehicule. By turning the wheels left to right and moving them up and down I heard a knocking noise. I can see the shock moving from left to right and knocking. Dealer told me it was normal ?! Should I trust? I've never seen that before. Also, the car has now 44 000 Km and the shocks are leaking. Has this happened to one of you?
      Thanks for your help!


      I was speeding, so were you. Will you give yourself a ticket too?

      Thanks for posting your findings.

      I'd like to check mine for the same thing as I have a similar kind of clunkyness when turning.

      Let us know what the fix is if possible.

      Okay, got my car back from the garage.

      About the suspension, they changed my front (passenger side) shock under warranty.
      For the A/C, nothing appeared to be unnormal. I thought maybe the drain was blocked, but they told me it could have been blocked and unblocked by itself ?!

      ... Anyone had A/C problem.

      drains on AC can unblock themselves. either by it filling with enough water to push it through. or if there was mud on the outside holding the drain closed, and a heavy rain, or go through a car wash can fix it.

      but typically if it is clogged enough that an owner notices it.. no likely to unclog.
