[H23Vtec]

hi everyone. i have a 94 honda prelude.there is some wrong with my front suspension.everytime i go over the speed bump,my suspension shack and rattle.it seem like my suspension is about to fall off my car. do u think it is my shock/strut?

sounds like you have some bad bushings. take it to a reputable mechanic to have the front end checked, if you are near baytown, or like to drive, shoot me a PM.

[lepaul37]

yeap sounds like ur bushing or maybe ur shocks went out..

[SecretAgent]

do you work for a shop lepaul37?

Clunking sound? I'd also check the sway bar end links to see if they are all tight and that the bar is not sliding around. But ya, bushings and also ball joints, and also wheel bearings if you are noticing some abnormal tire wear.

[H23Vtec]

yea clunking sound..i jack the car up and look at it..the sway bar bushing is destroy..i guess that is the problem. and the whole upper control arm i can move back and fore alittle bit. it is not tight..is it normal or it should be tight? if not i just go ahead and add a washer so it can be tight.

[SecretAgent]

everything should be tight. adding a washer will not only throw off ur alignment, it will only mask the problem, not fix it. take your car to a front end specialist you can trust. PM me if you need one.

yeah we got a auto shop... just tryin to help.

[SecretAgent]

thanks, lepaul, that's all i needed to know. don't post info like that again in my forum. it is against the rules.

[H23Vtec]

i have to say thank to all of u who reply to my post that help me solve my problem. i did fix my problem..i replace both sway bar bushing..both side of my camber kit bolts are loose, so i tight it up..thank again

[lepaul37]

its against the rules to help?

[SecretAgent]

it is against the rules for shops to say "hey, come by my shop, and we'll look at it for you" you are thereby recruiting business. if you wish to do that on this site, you must pay for advertising rights.

[HatchMan]

what if you installed the front springs onto the rear, and vice versa

[lepaul37]

u will notice the front is much higher than the back.

hey secret i am not trying to stir the pot here and i have been always on the borderline of advertising since when anybody asks who does "this coating" i answer and sometimes i get edited

But you told him to Pm you if he was in the area right?????
Quote"if you are near baytown, or like to drive, shoot me a PM."
Now just because your a mod means you can tell people where your near and they can drive you you... DO YOU OWN A SHOp??? and maybe you do it on the side for some side cash or something and that is right compared to lepaul...


Sometimes you guys go a little far with the cracking on helping people.. if he wanted to he could have used the advertisers forums post and ask them but you knw what they will say hey bring it buy which means $$$$ maybe he wanted an honest opinion and thats why hw asked... Everybody is not greedy some people want to help others if he was near my house i would have done it for free cause i dont care and i like cars..
