2008 Buick Lucerne suspension

I recently backed into a concrete culvert cover and rammed it pretty hard with the passenger side rear bumper. Every since, when I hit a bump, it feels like the whole rear end shifts side to side. I'm also not getting any traction during rain and sliding a lot. Both outer sides of the rear tires are showing wear now. Help! What have I done!

Not sure; that suspension system won't fit a 82-92 Camaro/Firebird without ALOT of work though. Totally different on MANY levels. Probably not a good plan for a fix.

Most likely, the panhard bar is broken, but without getting up under your car and looking, hard to be sure.

Best to just identify and repair the bent/busted part(s) rather than considering a foreign transplant into your 3rd gen.

Re: 2008 Buick Lucerne suspension

I don't have a camaro nor am I trying to transfer mine into one. I'm asking about the rear end of my Buick Lucerne.

Re: 2008 Buick Lucerne suspension

This is a 82-92 Camaro/Firebird forum, not a general "car question" one. Forum rules, the ones you agreed to when you registered but seem now to have broken, restrict us to staying on our topic.

Good luck with your "other" car.
