    suspension problem on low speed bumps!

    okay so my car is on stock struts with sportline springs. when i go over little bumps or imperfections in the road at slow speeds it feels like the suspension is loose or something what could be worn out because all my bushings on the knuckles are good and the tie rods are good so im stumped. it also when it goes over these bumps bangs a bit. thanks

    How long have you been on that set up? Your struts may be blown.

    hmmm, ya i would say your struts are blown. Is ther ride a bit bouncy?

    I was lovered on Neuspeed sport spring on stock struts for a few years till they blew. Put the springs in 80,xxxkm and noticed the drop in ride quality around 120,xxxkm i think. Got coilovers and much better.

    Could be the top hats in that case.

    Don't forget to check your sway bar end links. I had a horrible clunk from the front driver side because of one that was loose. Obviously your issue could be something else, but it's someone easy to check.

    when i installed coilovers and new bushings i had to go buy those and put new ones because they were ripped to shreds also
