I bring the car in Wednesday morning. Wednesday is also the winter solstice. Anyway, they are shipping them to GM I think or Bilstein and they are going to inspect them. Most likely it sounds like it is a shock issue and not the car. Only time will tell. I just hope I see a big difference in how she handles bumps.
