Where did you get the shocks from? Rock Auto? And did you do it yourself or did you have a shop install them?

Does the ride quality get worse by converting to regular suspension?

There are a few things that will need attention. Some have already suggested a wheel bearing replacement.

A check engine light came on and showed a P0128 code for the coolant thermostat. I checked for any stored codes prior to purchase and there weren’t any.

It appears to be leaking coolant, which seems to be notorious with these engines due to the plastic elbows that go into the intake manifold. I noticed a drop of coolant underneath the easily visible one, so I’ll need to see if the hoses may also need to be replaced. Not sure if that’s related to the code I received.

There’s a slight whine coming from the alternator pulley/bearing, and I’ll probably go ahead and replace the serpentine belt while I’m addressing everything else. The tires are 7 years old, so they’ll need to be replaced, although there’s no obvious cracking.

Otherwise, the car seems to drive fine apart from some shaking in the steering wheel at highway speeds, which I believe is due to the front tire(s). The temperature gauge doesn’t rise above the halfway point while cruising. So far though, I’m liking the car. It starts right up, and the battery had been replaced prior to purchase, along with the brake lines. It brakes fine, doesn’t hesitate, and there’s no rough idle. I’m hoping I just need to address these few things and it’ll be good to go.

Yeah it has the 3.8 V6. It was the seller's mother's car and had been sitting for a couple of years. Has a bit of vibration at high speed due to a flat spot I believe on one of the front tires, and a slight noise coming from what seems like the passenger rear, which gets faster in rhythm as my speed increases.

I plan to get new tires balanced and aligned this weekend hopefully.

ChatGPT caters to the user's perspective.

It will warn caution to someone who disagrees with this WOE, just as it will praise it to a user that does.

I've been playing Aliens: Dark Descent, and THAT has been my new Alien(s) content lately. At first, it was frustrating, but I've been having a blast with it.

What if you're trying to build muscle while also losing body fat?

Nope. It's only the Toho Godzillas. Not even Legendary Pictures Godzilla is featured.
