So I recently bought a 92 hatch from florida barely any rust and the i terior was very clean and the d15 was just replaced with receipts. So I drove it for a few weeks and first of all it rubbed the rear tires even taking turns at 20 mph and the car isn't lowered that much just sitting on lowtek struts and springs. But the wheels do seem to sit pretty wide. Also last week it started to do a death shake and shudder when I hit a bump and makes a rattling sound I took the wheel off and this is what I saw, only one bolt was left hanging on for dear life


Also can anyone tell me what bolt pattern this is these are the wheels that came with the car


A few more shots of the car








I'm pretty new to this stuff so any advice would be awesome thanks!

 

You need new upper control arms.

And the bolt pattern is most likely 4x100 for your car. The wheel looks to have a 4x100 and 4x114.3 patterns.

I hope you didn't pay a lot for that car. Looks pretty used.





eH.

 

No not too much and ok that's what I thought just never seen wheels with 8 bolt holes or two patterns in one just thought the dude got lucky and it fit 4x100 but ok thanks for the input!

 

as ehmx said new upper control arms. i like skunk 2 but whatever you get a feel for. Looks like the ride needs a bit of work if you have questions in suspension message me i love that ****. hopefully your wheel bearings are good. and you can do almost any job in the susp with an all thread bolts, washers and a sledge hammer. and dont shop ebay. someone already did.

 

On a completely unrelated note; All around your brake line is soaked with what I can only assume is brake fluid.
Something to look in to.

 

^Good catch.

 

Thanks man yea I was looking at the skunk2 Camber kit and for some reason the dude put lowering springs in the back but left stock up front lol so I think for now just get a decent set of springs until I save up for some decent coilovers cause I have to buy new tires and catalytic converter

 

Thanks Ill look into that its not leaking brake fluid as far as I know drove it from florida to ohio then from ohio to here in California and brakes still work fine and fluid is at a good level
