Default The solidity of a car?

Could some just blatantly tell me what makes a car (in this case, 94 accord) rock solid? Maybe its just me, but when i go over speed bumps i have a feeling that everything isnt all together. Bars helped a bit, but does there need to be any tightening anywhere if this is the case? Anything else that would helped towards the car being solid even at turns?

Mine does and always has felt rock solid.Maybe you should have a mechanic look at it.Particularly the front end-tie rods,ball-joints, steering components,etc.
How fast are you going over speedbumps? Where does it feel sloppy, front or rear?

A complete Urethane bushing kit would make it feel much more solid.

Well the thing is i drive my car and it feels solid ya know. Then i drive my friends lx (both sedan) and its seems rock solid. Then i go back to mine, and i notice rattling and-well---------"sloppy" is the word. Mainly i would say its in the back, even when i go over speedbumps with speeds of like 5-10.

Are either of the cars you speak of lowered at all?

Replace your bushings it makes a nice difference.

wish i can get a good deal on installation fee to put those little pieces of polyurethane bushing on my ride... to bad the labor will cost around $250-300 to put all those parts while the parts only cost like $95.
