Was a no go, waiting to here back from a guy about this SEBRING, it looks decent enough, and I've worked on them enough for it to be easy, found a cheap new alternator for it for $59.99, the honda was beat to hell and back :ouch:

It could be a control arm or maybe it needs to be realigned

usually the engine leaks a big of oil .... it will go down on the twin beam front end .. killing the bushings .. and yes it could be any number of things ... align and try to see if that fixes the issue .. if not .. I too had to rebuild my entire front end .. did mine in a weekend in the shop .. want too bad but having everything there ready to be assembled was the key .. from rotor to rotor .. its all new on mine now ... the only issue left is the dang rag joint @ steering box .. :c:
