   I think they were just stressed, especially after last winter. I would be    
      
   driving down the narrow streets of new bedford and it was  like pounding down    
      
   cobble stones or a washboard, not to mention gruesome potholes which they are    
      
   still filling. I had to laugh because I had loosened the front spoiler on the    
      
   car from slamming into snow banks and I recently fixed it... only to loosen it    
      
   again yesterday flying through flooded roads from the heavy rains we just got.    
      
   I might consider just taking it off. It really serves no purpose other than    
      
   ramming more air into the front of the car or giving you a few miles per    
      
   gallon. Other than the spoiler, my ground clearance is close to a jeep grand    
      
   cherokee.    
      
   ... Anything demonstrated for a repairman will work perfectly.
