I put new KYB rear shocks on, That took care of the bang-clunk sound that I thought was a spring. And I ordered new Monroe quick struts#172179 with the *.
Now on to the door lock issue. It has slow moving door locks ( except when putting it park) The passenger side is slower. My mechanic friend tells me to unhook the battery for 24 hours, maybe the BCM will re-learn ? He says to try it before buying door lock actuators.
But he wonders if it will affect the radio anti theft device. Any Ideas?... john

But resetting the BCM will not do anything for the door lock actuators. Maybe the RCDLR, but not the actuators.

Thanks Donbrew & 843. What my buddy was thinking that the long term memory is affected after 24 hours and the radio might think that it has been removed from the car (or stolen)
He said if that happens you have to enter a code that you get from the dealer.
I will try inspecting and lubing things. I understand the left and right sides get their signals from different sources, and that would explain why pushing the fob once on the drivers side and 2 or 3 times on the passenger side unlocks the doors.
Hey 843, hows Bob 2 coming along? Is it going to be Hugger Orange, that cool new Goldish Orange or HHR Orange?...john

Drove to the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford Va yesterday. It is impressive, if you are ever in that area you owe it to yourself to stop. They have a guided tour that takes about 45 mi. I will try to post a pic or two tonight.
