Replying to: snaglepus (Jul 17, 2008 8:29 am) For contrast, I drove my 2002 Stratus R/T (not known for a smooth ride) and our 2001 Town and Country Van. The Azera is smoother, except for a couple of speeds where it just seems to be uneasy. It seems I read somewhere that it might be an issue where the Tranny bolts to the engine. Whatever it is, it is still there. I have no idea as to what to do next. Any advice would be appreciated. |

Just purchased a 2008 azera limited with the ultimate nav pkg. Have read a lot of info about front end problems. My azera was built on 12/21/07. This appears to have some significance as to the struts, and also ride characteristics. Just purchased rubber mats in a beautiful gray (weathertech) and had the windows tinted for the HOT FLORIDA sun. It looks great. I only have 300 miles on it. Great ride so far. Would appreciate any tips on what problems , if any, that I should beware of. Thanks in advance for any info.

Replying to: begovich1 (Jul 24, 2008 2:05 pm)  Congratulations. Since your new 2008 Azera is what I would call a late 2008, you have got the latest shocks, front part number 54611-3L640 which evidently were installed beginning 10/20/07. No one I know of has been 5K miles yet on these newest shocks, so it will be interesting to see if these newest shocks hold up. You will know even before 5K miles as yours may (I hope not!) go South as all but the original early 2006 MYs have done. Evidently Azeras built prior to Dec. 05, 2005 had good shocks and did not experience any problems like the cars built from Dec. 05, 2005 to Oct. 20, 2007. Please let us know how your late 2008 Azera holds up in this department.  I cannot wait until someone gets 5K miles or more on these latest shocks and reports no porposing problems as many have experienced with cars built from Dec. 05, 2005 through Oct. 20, 2007. I expect that you will not have any problems with your new late Azera.

Replying to: begovich1 (Jul 28, 2008 7:38 pm) My Azera was built on 12/21/07." And therein lies the secret!  Azeras built 10/20/07 and later have the latest supposely improved shocks, part number 54611-3L640 for the fronts and 55311-3L640 for the rear shocks. I am a committee of one who is trying to determine if indeed these newest parts, especially the fronts, are going to stand up for more than 5K miles. Please keep me posted with the good news that yours do hold up!

Replying to: dwengier77 (Jul 30, 2008 11:03 am) By 5000 miles, if you had any of the earlier shocks except for the very earliest shocks installed on the 2006 models built before Dec. 05, 2005, you would most likely be noticing that your car would not ride as it did originally. It would feel like the shocks were loose and worn out, and the car would feel floppy, wallowy, and it would even porpuse on certain types of highway at speed.  Now, my question to you is . . . What is the build date of your 2008? The build date is located on the pillar between the drivers door and the rear door. That will determine whether or not your car is equipped with the newest latest 'improved' shocks. If it was built 10/20/07 or later, you are or should be 'home free' so to speak. Good luck. Enjoy your fine machine.
