I realize this isn't a suspension forum, but the NA boys don't have problems with too much power. I'd rather address my question to a forum where it's going to get quality, informed responses.

89 CRX HF
turbo B18B mounted with HASports
ES suspension bushings
GC's 350/275 (yes, wrong rates for traction)


I've been fighting my suspension for the last six months, it seems, it's getting real old quick. I orignally let a little wheelhop go on for a while, then replaced everything defective in the front suspension; shocks, broken steering rack (I said it), upper ball joint/A-arm, driver's wheel bearing.

I threw on some junk tires to limp the car - it's a daily driver - until I could have it aligned. Fast forward two weeks and 400 miles later, I go in for an alignment, and my driver's wheel is wobbling like it needs a wheel bearing, even though I just replaced the bearing, and the passenger's wheel is doing the same. My friend @ the shop is saying I've worn out my hubs, has anyone else heard of this?

FYI, I had my toe set back to where it should be, despite bearings/hubs it was really off, and now the car is deadly under boost. Center yourself in a vacant stretch of four lane interstate, apply gas, and the car threads S-curves you never knew existed all by itself. Yay!

Are your lower motor mounts "filled"/have inserts? Before I put inserts in on my last car I had a wheel hop problem that broke my rear mount, caused the dp bolts to fall off, etc I learned.

I'm sorry, I realize my post was a bit incomplete, and lacked vehicle specifics. I've edited it.
