the rear struts were replaced when the car started to make weird clunking sounds and the struts were found to be worn out...also had the auto re alinged. Problem, the car is making the same weird clunking sounds,, Were the wrong struts instaled.

If you are sure that the sound you are hearing is coming from the back and the struts were the right ones, it is probably the strut mounts on the top of the struts that are actually the problem. Could have been the problem all along. These are rubber mounts that sit between the car body and the top of the struts. To be honest, most of the struts that I have seen replaced were only from leaking problems, rarely do these make noises. General Motors released a new design for the rear strut mounts on these cars that was only to address a clunk from this area. Check with your installer or a dealer to confirm. Good luck.

This is a front wheel drive car, the clunking sound your hearing is most likely coming from the front drive axles CV joints. .

I even have self belief in you, It purely takes it sluggish and money, first issues first, you be attentive to you decide on gas and spark interior the engine, smell or seem for gas getting to the engine, by using the two pumping the gas pedal mutually as turning the beginning up key, or maybe listening for the electrical powered gas pump pressurizing the gas device. Then verify for spark. they sell low-value spark testers, the place you do away with the spark plug cord, connect it, crank the engine, and watch for the voltage to bounce the hollow. .in case you have all of the standards to fulfill combustion. next verify to verify if the timing chain or timing belt is broke, by using shifting the crankshaft and seeing if the valves pass under the valve covers. in the event that they dont pass its broke.
