We owned a 1995 Corsica for 5 years. Purchased it in the fall of 1994. Not a bad car, but we had the head gasket repaired under warranty twice. Drove the car approx. 90,000 miles and traded it in for a 2000 Saturn SL1. We got a great deal on the car when we bought it, because the 95 Cavalier was a new model and not out on the market yet. So, GM was heavily discounting the Corsica.

95 Corsica 2.2L Popping sound [jpf]

I’m bewildered. I just completed replacing the engine and everything is good to go, except for a popping sound underneath. It mostly happens when going around curves to the right, not to the left. When it pops it feels like it’s under my feet on the driver’s side. I double-checked the undercarriage with an impact wrench. Everything is run up tight, the undercarriage, knuckles, spindles, calipers, motor mounts, etc. I thought maybe CV joint. The car has 160k on it. But most of the time when I’ve had CV joint problems in the past, the noise would act up most at low speed like in a parking lot. Any one experiences a popping sound when driving their Corsica? Any suggestions? Thanx

Wife and I bought a brand new 1988 Chevrolet Corsica and from the first month the car was an absolute disaster. The list is far too long to list here but I swore off ever owning another Chevrolet ever. Someday when I get out the paperwork and have half a day to spend I will list the problems and the lack of customer care GM and Chevrolet had for us. Good luck to anyone who ever got snookered into buying this junk.

Thanks for the reply. I guess that's one of the reason they quit making them. They rank right up there with the Edsel.

You should still be able to enjoy your Corsica for a little while longer. My 1995, V6, 3.1 liter just died the other day with 224,000 miles. After many repairs we are finally sick of bringing her back to life and are letting her go to the big scrapyard in the sky!

That same thing was happening to me and after making a sharp fast turn, I found myself in the middle of traffic, sitting on my bumper! I ended up having to replace the ball joint......GOOD LUCK!

Not only could it be a ball joint, which often sounds like a "thunk" or a "pop" when going around a corner or hitting a large bump, but you may also want to check your strut and strut mount, and you may also want to check your wheelbearings. A good piece of advice is grab on your tire outside the car and try wiggling it to see if there is any play. If there is, it's more than likely one of these problems.
