Ep3 suspension: Its personal
Long story
If you don't have intimate suspension knowledge this thread isn't for you
Good looking
I really am a honda fanatic
I got the ep3 when it came out
slapped on 17 inch rims
took er up to 80 and she started shiverin
limped back home
swapped out the old 17s and went back stock
Never been the same since
She pulls left and right with the slight of the road and fights constantly for control these days.
Tried to get honda to repair under warranty
They replaced the spring and strut to
no use
The rear driver side wheel still vibrates at high speed
bump steer is a real problem
the car doesn't sit level anymore
the driver side rear actually sags in the back about a quarter inch
when your a honda fanatic you can tell these things
It's bad folks really bad
turn in is ruined
Need a diagnosis
What part could of posibbly snapped or bent to cause such commotion back there
When ridin in first gear really slow there is this lurching back and forth. It feels like the wheel is going to just tear itself off the car.
Of course Honda returns the car with an alignment tweak everytime I take it in and diagnose it "safe">
If you know suspension give me some pointers so I can track down what I broke in my suspension
Even if I don't get the issue resolved I still have the car I like and even if its milling about with a broken part or two come on its the ep3 nuff said

I am sure you have but did you try rotating the tires and see if the problem moves? If the car lurches at slow speed that seems like it would be more of a Tire/Wheel/Bearing problem to me.. the suspention may make it sag or pull but not lurch.. thats a rotating moving part.
