Trip was for diagnosis of a problem, which I would have had repaired if I'd had time (before leaving on a trip). Car has excessive bounce & vibration (initiating in the steering wheel but it has now spread to the whole car), high tire noise, and will nosedive when braking. Rear passenger side suspension is also apparently sagging. Mechanic informed me that *all* of my struts were bad & slowly leaking - this in spite of having my front passenger strut replaced less than 10,000 miles ago. Will have my struts replaced when I have the funds.
