Vague Suspension Feel
Posted: January 16th, 2005, 11:16 am
Hi All,
I have a 93 GS on which I performed the ZX-2 strut conversion....matched them with H&R springs. I also have a Corksport front strut tower bar and SRD aluminum crossmember that I installed. Needless to say, this setup has very nicely improved the firmness and handling characteristics of the car and I'm quite happy with it.
The only problem is that I still feel a certain sense of suspension 'vagueness' or floatiness when doing any type of harder than average cornering. I am curious as to which particular suspension components might be the root cause of this and what I could do about it. I'm assuming it may be sway bar related....Perhaps the end links simply need to be replaced? I've never replaced them and I have 125k+ miles on the car. I know people have posted previously regarding solid end link replacements for the stock ones. Would worn end links cause the type of feel I'm describing, or is is something else I should be worrying about?
Thanks for your help!
