Hi, my name is Rita and I own a 1998 Ford Mustang GT. As of current, I found out that my shocks and struts are leaking and need replacement sometime in the future. I just got back from a small road trip this morning, and my car did something it never has done before. I took a corner going about 6 miles per hour, and as soon as I got the car back on a straight road, it started to fish-tail out of controll, just like a car does when it is driving on an icy road. I don't know if my suspension is shot, or maybe my bearings or tie rods needs new replacement...if anyone knowns why my car fish-tailed the way it did, I would greatly appreciate any input on this subject. Thanks, Rita

I hate to be a peat Rita...but, If the shocks and strut are leaking oil, they don't need to be replaced sometime in the future...They NEED replacing NOW!
While the mechanic has it on the lift...Check the rear end out!
