Default 07 lt bad suspension

Hi has anyone with an 06 ,07 monte carlo had any problems with a harsh ride which may be partially the bad roads that i drive on but also a thud with every bump thats hit. Its still under bumper to bumper warranty for another month. So if theres a commen problem id like to hear about it thanks

if it's still under warranty, take it to the dealer to have it checked out. your ride should not be as harsh as you describe (unless your hitting massive pot holes..)

what part of Ohio are you in?

Could be the engine mounts, could also be a loose suspension piece. Whatever it is I'd say take it in to the dealer.

Man I wish I still had my warranty...

most def take it to the shop. it does sound like mounts are causing noise but also have them check your tie rods. my were bad i think after the first year and a half

Yea, take it to the dealer and get it fixed under warrenty....

The shaking while braking sounds like your Rotors, which will not be covered under warrenty...OEM rotors warp easily.
