Playintowin answered 4 years ago

My only real concern is hearing a whining type noise while driving. I've heard it for some time now (about a year), but haven't had any problems. I was afraid it might be the transmission, but the car shifts and accelerates timely and smooth. So, I'm going to cross my fingers and spend a couple thousand to install new struts, seal the valve covers (they leak a bit) and get a tune up. Hopefully that will get me a couple more years before I spend that $25k. Thanks!!
