HELP STIFF RIDE

Post by V8KOMX3 »

OK I don't know what is going on with my suspension. The front struts seem to be stuck up and it makes for a very stiff ride plus it looks like my car has not motor in it :shrug: . I thought my struts were just bad but my father thinks otherwise. hopefully its just the struts because I have zx2 struts sitting here waiting to be put in. Any help would be great and thanks in advance.

well struts themselves will not make the car stay high..its mainly the springs that cary the load of the car.

But if you can push down on the front of the car a lil then the struts can't be stuck. But if they are stuck, thats the first time i ever heard of that..lol

Switch them out with the ZX-2's now is as good as reason as any to pull ur suspension apart.

Thought this topic was a dbl post for just a sec. lol http://www.mx-3.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.ph ... light=porn

Are we missing some additional helpful details here?

Have the springs recently been changed?

Have you been seriously airborne with the front end?

Dunno, but it would seem unthinkable that you'd just be walking out the door one morning and say DAYum, my ride didn't look and drive that way when I parked... :roll:
