Lower control arms, sway bar links, struts. Pain but she has been so good to us. Can't part with her
Actually, I did do the front lower controls arms. Forgot about that. I was fortunate to own a repair shop and just put it up on the lift. Same with tires. I never pay for mounting and balancing! The front struts are holding up OK, as are the rear shocks. Not bouncy at all. Maybe a little clunk in the front.
The dealer replaced the rack & pinion under warranty but it was NOS, so we have to go back this year for an updated unit when my kid has time from school.
My wife loved (still loves) her Maxx because we can fit so much stuff in the back. The rear hatch is insane. When we were looking for a car this year, we would have considered the Honda Crosstour, but they killed it in 2015 and my wife wanted new. My wife did so much research on vehicles this year, it was mindboggling.
She settled on her KIA Optima SXL 2.0L Turbo. The car is outstanding and the trunk can fit a LOT of stuff. It's an awesome "cah"!
