Pontiac Repair: Auto repair, pontiac bonniville, tire alignment

Question
I have a Pontiac bonniville I took it in to the shop and they told me my power steering was low and dirty and needed to be flushed, needs tire alignment and both rear shocks are out what will occur if I didn't get all this fixed right away? How long can I wait?thank you

Answer
Hi rick:

if the p/s is low there is a leak some where. if your not experincing any whine noise especially on a left hand turn it's not that low "YET" but it will be eventually. a P/S flush is not needed it's a gimic! a wheel alinment is always a good idea! Rear shocks leak on those cars all the time. it will evnetaully degrade the ride quality and cause the rear tires to wear out due to the tires bouncing on the road. the should dampens the spring bounce if they  are leaking they have already begun to loose the "absorbtion" quality. good luck :-)
