Is there anything that can be tightened on the car to make it "like a rock..'? I notice when i drive it it feels a bit loose. Struts are already on my mind, but i think it might have something to do with the chassis. Plz dont say anything about suspension!

 

Was the car in a wreck?
Check all your sub frame bolts. Interior trim might be loose and rattling. Not much you can do for the chassis besides putting in a roll bar/cage to stiffen it or sound deadening material to quiet it. Do a once over of all suspension nuts and bolts you'd be amazed how much play there is due to wear and tear. The bushings are probably due for replacement.

 

Hey would you know what stores would hold bushing, just off the top of your head?

 

your local honda dealer.

 

Check the your control arms (bushings-are the cracked/worn?), and tie rod ends. These are areas that will cause you to feel a "wander". Dealers suck/are crooks. I have an online site that I use (at least half of what a dealer would charge you). I will send you the address if you'd like. I won't post here because I don't want to seem like I'm pushing anything.

thas what my 02 ex cpe 5 spd exactly feels like. When i go on bad roads, the car feels like its gonna fall apart with various types of squeaks and i can feel the chassis is not too rigid at all.....what should i do?? my car is still under warranty but what can the dealer do??

 

That car must be a lemmon because the only Hondas I've seen that feel like they're falling apart are 20 years old and severly abused.

 

polyurethane always helps

Their prices aren't the best but service is good. I've made many orders with them, including my E/S kit which I've yet to install.
