I think I broke my 96 galant today :( - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

I hit a bump this am on ride home. And since then, when I hit bumps on right side it sounds like rear right of car is gonna fall off. Like strut broke, or came loose or something. Looked today and didn't seem like anything was loose or out of place. Tomorrow I am going to take out back seat and lift car.
Any ideas?

My Strut squeaks everytime I come to a stop and the car lurks forward a bit. Factory struts are poop so check that out.

If you have a rear sway bar check that, might have snapped an endlink or ripped out of the bushing...

hmmm.
I am hearing on the galant forums maybe bushing or knuckle.
as far as struts they are kyb GR2s not sure how many miles on them, but they were installed early 07

well problem solved. It's a busted strut mount. Gotta get that along with some other parts I been meaning to replace on the car and it's getting fixed next week
