ThatsIt

My car is tilted on the driver side back, and so i changed springs, then it was still tilted a little, then change shocks, but still have the same problems. Also when i drive it seems to bounce alot on that side only, and rubs. Can someone help me whats wrong?

Your bushings might be shot. Check all the bushings on that side. I'm thinking the main trailing arm bushing might be gone.

i think you should check the vtec on your left shock

Main trailing arm? are you talkin about the controlling arms?

No, it's the big arm that goes front to back. The wheel is connected to it. All of the control arms are connected to the trailing arm.



Numbers 7 and 8 in that picture. That is the trailing arm. The bushing I'm talking about isnt on there. But it is sorta weird looking. It's the one that is towards the front of the trailing arm.

What the ****? Your mechanic sucks at life. Why would you add an extra spring? Just fix the problem. Your suspension bushings got owned.

And why did you need two posts for that? *****.

nice. thanks. Can you tell me what are the signs of a failing bushing? Cuz i dont want to replace them and find out that the bushing we still fine.

Some of the things you mentioned. Squeeking noises, crappy ride, and if you inspect it visually, you might see that it is cracked through. I actally am riding on a shot trailing arm bushing right now. And if I had the tools to get the wheel off and back on I would take a picture. But you can thank thieves for that ******* ****! *mad*
