Default C6 Question

I've been looking at an '07 coupe. It was a lease vehicle and has 41K on the clock. I did a car fax on it and found that at 35K miles it had all the sway bar bushings and end links replaced. Also at the same time, the PCM was reprogramed. Can anyone give me some insight as to what the problem may have been? Thanks in advance.

Bushing and end links wear out and start to make noises. Have no idea what a PCM reprogram was for..

You will need the labor op to determine why the PCM was reprogrammed. A dealer can look it up in VIS.

and as calemasters said, any GM dealer can access the proprietary VIS system by giving them the VIN from the car. the end links and bushings isn't a severe issue. but it will be interesting when you tell us why the PCM was redone.
