Well ive notice that at higher speeds like 60+ small bumps in the road will make it feel like i have no traction at all for a split second. The shocks are Yellows with an off brand drop spring ive used before with no issues. The car is a 94 EJ1 with brand new toyo's. Im used to driving on Arizona roads where they (the roads) are pretty much always hot so traction isnt an issue even on rougher roads. So i guess my questions are: Does anyone else have the same problem? Could it be the temp difference on the roads in WA? My suspension setup (i doubt it but ill take suggestions on that)? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

 

 

Bump... No one?

 

63 views and not one word of advice? Outstanding.

 

Bump for nothing... nothing at all.

 

What do you mean no traction? Are you spinning the tires after you hit a bump?

 

i guess it could be classified as wheel hop, not like im doing a burnout though, i hit even the smallest of bumps and it the whole front end feels like it lost traction... There is very little camber and the aligntment is fresh...

 

Have you installed polyurethane front compliance bushings recently? What'd your alignment specs come out to?

 

No new bushings and i dont know what the specs were, and honestly my suspension knowledge is limited so i wouldnt even know what to look for.

 

Bump...

 

bump

one of the yellows were toast... so i threw the kyb shocks that were on there before, and still have the same issue.

So, perhaps the KYBs are also toast, or just not up to the springs you're using. I'd have the Konis rebuilt, i.e. the dead one and the other one at that end of the car.

Also, how lowered is the car? A big drop might be associated with the dead damper in the first place?

Kybs are straight... and its only like 1.5 in the front and 1 in the rear... nothing too crazy... i still have room between the tire and fender for my index and middle finger in the rear and index in the front.
