    My rear end sags pretty bad on the passenger side and just a little on the Drivers. Wondering if a busted sway bar may cause this or if i am looking at new struts? Any suggestions of good struts on a budget? Any ideaas what is cuasing this if not the struts? Thanks everyone!

    These W bodys are notorious for rear end sag.. Between springs and struts you should be good to go again.

    springs are most likely warn out. the springs hold the weight of the car, the struts just dampen the up/down movement. mine is doing the same, but it is not cheap to replace springs and you will want to do both anyway.

    Look into springs form an olds intrigue. They will raise the rear right back up.

    Monroe is offering a hefty rebate on all their struts right now. I just ordered the rear sensa-trac quick struts for my car which qualifies for a $60 rebate. After all is said and done it works out to ~$100 each from Rock Auto.

    Autoparts123.com, has all 4 preloaded sets front and rear for $516 with free shipping. Monroe's rebate is $150 for the 4 of them and there was a 10% promo code, so after all was said and done it the cost per unit came down to 79 per unit.
