My 9-5 has about 177K miles on her. Last night whilst exiting a parking lot, I hear a loud THUNK; it reminded me of the sort of sound you might hear if you drove over a high curb and the curb hit the bottom of the car. When I got home, I noticed that the rear end of the car is sitting much lower than normal. I am bracing myself for what may be a pricey repair. I don't even know if my model has rear shocks (I believe there are shocks in the front). Anyone have any ideas on what may have caused this?
Most likely a broken spring. There are shock absorbers at the rear, but they don't affect the ride height. Unless you have self levelling, but I don't know if that is fitted to any of the NG9-5.
Is it a Dame or an NG?
If NG - take it to a Vauxhall dealer, underneath it is an Insignia.
If Dame - Saab specialist.... I don't think either option will break the bank
