Hey guys, I am trying to figure out what is wrong with my 04 Cavalier. When I am at highway speeds my car is really really noisy and it thumps constantly. I thought for sure it was a bad tire because that is what it sounds and feels like, so I got some used tires and they sounded the same. I then went and bought 4 brand new tires and the ride smoothed out some, but it's still really noisy and bumpy. I am thinking I might need new front struts and maybe wheel hubs (180k on the originals right now) but I wanted some other opinions before I replace anything.
Most definitely needs struts at that mileage. Keep in mind it's not a Cadillac either. jbodies are cheap econoboxes that are really best for a-b in town type travel.
