Suspension questions...

[rainman]

Hey couple of questions on suspension...Yes, I've read through the forums and done the necessary search..but still need few thoughts from you guys...Driving a '95 LE I4 with 130k miles. Had my struts/strut mounts replaced at the dealer a year ago when I was new into CARS, had I known then..would have gone for tokico's. The Springs are stock and everyother part of the suspension. Gone underneath the car and checked the sway bar/bushings/endlinks, everything looks good..except a lateral movement of less than a cm from the sway bar when I rock it. Now to the point...

Hear lots of thud..thud..thud...from the Rear Right tyre area on uneven roads at low speed only. Anytime I go over a bump.. the front wheel just falls from the top of the bump to the road, it does not have that nice suspension feeling to absorb the jump over the bump. The car is very good in corners, no real roll-over, but I feel like it is a bit sloppy on quick manouevers...How do I tighten the suspension for that nice grip....?

the thud would most likely be the sway bar brushing (sp?). or Other things that could cause the problem is the strut mount.
change that out and you should be able to solve ur problem.

to reduce ur sloppy manouvers, try replacing the rear strut bar with whiteline strut bar. that helps since u have new struts on there, no point replacing them at the moment.

U did not replace the springs rite? do i hear Tein or eibach spring in the works?
