    Vehicle shaking at 70 mph +

Now I'm considering the possibility that the sway bar has got something to do with it. It does have that distinctive sound at the rear that tells me...

    air flow does not redirect

    The air flow does not adjust with the settings selected. The air keeps flowing from the center and does not shift to floor or defrost etc. What can be the cause of this? No matter what setting you put the selector on except in the off (O) position it does not redirect the air flow. This is on...

    Hissing sound from AC

    Has anyone had this issue before? When I turn the AC on there is a hissing sound coming from the left rear somewhere. Sound like it is coming from either the roof lining or the B-pillar behind the driver's seat. Anny suggestions as to the issue before I start ripping the upholstery apart.
