Ok i bougth a 90 crx si a while back. I parked it and its been sitting for a few months. I got it running last weekend. Problem is the wheel hop is so bad on take off its almost hard to drive. I mean its to the point where i cant even take off above 1500 rms or it feels like im stomping on the gas. Its only on the passenger side. If i can remember right the kid said the control arm is bad. but i looked at it and it looks okay. Motor mounts are in good shape. So i was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or has had this happend before. I drove back to my appartment and theres no working on cars here. only at my school so time is kinda limited. I wanted to take some suggestions before taking stuff apart and replacing the control arm and bushings and such. Thanks for your time.

 

are you sure the mounts are ok? check the front and rear mounts. Check the shocks too

 

i have another si that the mounts are so bad that when you shift or hit the breaks the shifter moves like crazy, and that one takes off just fine. But i will check again tomorrow. and the shocks. thanks for the reply.

 

forgot to say it was lowered. there a lot of stress on the upper fork on the strut. bad bushing and greese squirtin out. im guessing thats it lol. should i get a camber kit?

 

grease on fork=toasty shock

 

raise the car and fix all that oozing ****

 

axle a blown shock wouldnt do that my friends type r swapped eg did the same **** its often when the whole boot rips off or if youve gone over a huge bump and the axles pulled all the way out of the inner part whatever its called you should feel it in your feet on whichever side

 

so I looked in the haynes manual that the kid gave me. the section about tighting the tortion nut to lower the car is highlighted. so I suppose when I get home im gonna loosen them up a little bit so it rides higher. ill check the axle too. but if I remember right the pass side is the drive side so the car would really go anywhere if it was unhooked. but it sqeeks when I take off so I have a feeling its something to do with the axle. thanks for the responses.

 

you loosen to lower. my fault.
