you say the service was done but was it done on the TIME side of the schedule?

should've had a lot more than 7-8 (or w'ever) oil changes, closer to 25 for instance.

struts are probably bad

check the transverse link bushings on the LCAs

serpentine belt pulley bearings are probably rough

might have bubbles in the power steering from hard/bad o-ring on top of PS pump

make sure the a/c charge is good, might soon need a couple of o-rings at the compressor


our 03 (which IS a side street/'grocery getter' - type car)needed all the above before 64K miles.



may need to inspect the cap/o-ring on the fuel pump

may need plugs soon (ugh)

PCV valve could be gummy


much of the above 'could' be issues with ANY older car.
