Hello members,

I have a 2008 Honda Civic EX sedan, and I think there is something up with my civic's suspension. Every time I drive over like a mini pothole or anything, the car slides to the left or right. I'm not really sure what the problem could be, maybe the struts? Pretty much anything I drive through makes my car slide either to the left or right. The car is really bad when its wet out, and driving over those pot holes, it feels like your going to lose control of your car. I know that my alignment is fine since I got new tires, and a alignment as well.

Please help!
Thanks!

I am having similar symptoms with my 06 LX, 61k miles.

Any suggestions on what to look at to remedy the problem?

 

Jack the car up and check for play on the tire. I.E. put your hands at the 12 O'clock and 6 O'clock position and wiggle. There should be NO movement. If there is, your balljoints are going. Next try putting your hands in the 3 O'clock and 9O'Clock position. Again there should be no play. If there is, tie rods are worn. However, tire pressure can affect the "sway" motion too.

 

Okay, so I found out my struts are gone. Now does anyone have a idea where to buy good struts, price no matter?

Thanks!

 

where are you located? and what are you looking for, oem or an improvement over oem?

 

WTF? Already?
