When I worked at the C-P-D Dealership in early '86, 90% of the F'd-up noises, dreveability issues, & leaks were all RWD cars & the trucks. The FWD's were better handling & wore tires better, as quick or quicker & way better mpg's, few screwball noises to track down, & rarely leaked anything. True, the early versions needed upgrading, & every guy 30 & under intentionally tried to see "what they could take" it seemed. Full rev neutral-drops w/the wheels cut, etc. etc., Mopar let them find out what the weak spots were....made the fixes as They went. Just as the engineering & design caught up, it seemed like the QC took a sh*t , ....Pass.-side strut tower spot welds on the Omnis popped & the struts ended up in the hood(mostly '88's), yeah.....the pot-metal outside handles & the fold of sheetmetal inside the top of the door making contact w/the release-rod lever is an unforgiveable fail they never fixed.
