The contact owns a 1998 Chevrolet S10. While driving various speeds on a bumpy road, the rear end of the vehicle moved from side to side abnormally. The failure occurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed the failure of the rear axle damper. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified about the failure. The VIN was unavailable. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
Left side of vehicle lower than right by 1 1/4 inch. Causing unpredictable steering especially on wet roads. Six other vehicles in my area have same problem. Service manager confirmed it was a known problem. No repair at present other than trial & error.
When driving at any speed vehicle vibrates from the rear suspension, and vibration is intermittent. Dealer can't determine the problem. There was a loud sound coming from the rear and everything got loose. Also, rear seat tightened up about four or five times, and mirror wasn't tighting anymore due to loose rear suspension. Something was going to let go, and the consumer might cause an accident.
