ok this only happens at 25 mph plus and opnly when im taking slight corners to the right but when i hit the brakes the back end will jerk really hard to the left like im in a mustang in the snow with slicks and 1000 hp LMAO anyways yeah its does that and also like when im slowing to a red light and lightly brakeing when i get below ten mph the car will like bounce up and down (just barely though ) so i dunno ...

does anyone have anyideas as to what may be causing this to happen ... its kinda sarting to bother me cuz i have almost crashed cuz of it so yeah ... and i have to drive my mother in this car lol


Any ideas will be greatly appreciated thanks alot guys

L some one has to have an idea... please hlep me out on this one

 

nice drift machine

 

your struts are blown maybe?

 

got hydros on ur civic

 

take the car out of gear. :D

or maybe just get up under the back of your car and look.. you'll be able to see what's wrong, most likely

 

sounds may b like a shock.. a blown shock will compress but won't go back...and yea the bounce effect will take place...c if the spring is cracked....brake lock up?? have discs in the rear.. change ur brakes...need some maintenece done sun

 

well lets see ... rear drums and shoes are new all shocks are four weeks old.... springs are new (skunk2 coilover soon to be omni powers) ummmmm i looked under there and i cant figure it out ... also anyone know where on the net sells the spanner wrenches so i can adjust my coil overs ... lent mine to a friend and he lost them lol so i am gunna mek him gimme money how oever much it costs to get the new ones ... Please help this is really starting to **** me off .....

 

sounds fun.....

Take your mom FWD drifting

 

Just curious if when you put your struts on you used a allen key and didn't try to use a rag with pliers on the strut bar. I'm only saying this cause I have seen ppl do it and there struts blew in a matter of days from breaking there seals

 

are you talking about at the top of the strut that lil hoel where the allen key goes then yes i used an allen key lmao ... bene there done that ... ...

 

Yeah I though I would throw that out there, you never know haha

hhmmm well is the rear of the car bouncy when you go over bumps or just when braking?

 

your spring on your adjuster screw on the rear brakes might be installed backwards and not working at all... check that out... and also like everyone else has said.... check the struts

yeah it like its always slightly bouncy buteven more so when i brake and get to low speeds so yeah ........

 

Well when I had my rear struts blown they did the same thing. You looked under the car so I guess you didnt see any kind of grease on your struts so if its not that I really cant think of anything else.

 

i think you might have put the stiffer front spring(s) on the rear. that would explain the bizarre oversteer. did you get an alignment?

was it doing this before all the new parts,or has it always done it?
Chris

 

well it has always done this but now its alot more noticable that the new suspension is on .... i know the suspension is on right .... i have a friend of mine help and he has his ase's and has his own shop specializing in import performance so yeah ..... i know i need an alignment like really bad and i also noticed today that all the wheels are sitting at different heights ..... (by about1/8- 1/4 inch difference) i know this will definatley cause a bad problem .... but i dont have the spanner wrenches to adjust them ... where can i get some from anyone know a website ???
