suspension problem.

[Anonymous]

Ever since I got my car the suspension has felt terrible, you can feel every little stone on the road. I do have 35mm drop on puma springs but it has always been like this even when I had standard springs. It makes the car feel very unsturdy.

So what do yall reckon? new bushes , new shocks , ....I havent checked for an anti-roll bar ,it is a 92 sr so it should have one but Im not sure.

See my post for SuperFlex vs PowerFlex ...I think u should change the bushes, it makes a huge difference!
I dunno if u wanna find out about bumpstops?

check the general condition of the suspension the bushes and bumpstops
is the problem at the front or rear?

16v Nova - Toolkit, Trouble, Points and great expence all come as standard :)

2.0 16v back soon :D

the front is worse than the rear. I was going to replace the front bushes but I'm not sure wether to replace them with standard ones or powerflex or sumthin. I'll have to check em out. How much is a set of new standard ones for the front?

sounds like your bumpstops are shot mate, my car is the same - if i hit any kinda hole its as if the dash is gonna jump off the bulkhead lol. the bumpstops stop the shocks bottoming out - espesh on lowered cars - one of these days i may even change them
