Engine not specified
| 100000 mi US $159 |
Left rear shock was blown. |
2001 Saturn L-Series 4dr Wagon
182-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD
| 143000 mi US $1200 |
While having all 4 struts replaced, found left front coil spring broken. Replaced both front coil springs and both front sway bar links, along with all 4 struts. |
| 89000 mi US $220 |
Strong vibration started at about 55 mph, got worse (like a washboard dirt road) until it stopped abruptly above 72 mph. Replaced the two older tires, now have 4 matching Goodyears that are all low mileage. This didn't solve the problem. |
| 98200 mi US $175 |
ball joint |
| 218000 mi US $2900 |
Creaking from rear suspension |
| 229000 mi | Creaking from rear suspension never resolved, even with a replacement of the rear suspension bushing and repeated lubrication. Final thing that lead to getting rid of the car was the need to replace the front strut mounts. Would have cost $700+. |
