I just put a new transmission in my car this weekend and finished getting everything back together today. While driving to work tonight I noticed that whenever I hit a noticable bump in the road that the front driver's side seemed to not give. It's hard to explain but the other struts would bounce and little as they normally would but the front driver's side doesn't bounce at all and seems like it follows the bump in the road. The car has had Tein (1"?) lowering springs on it for years. I've heard of bad struts bouncing too much but is it possible for one to become completely dead. I didn't have this problem before putting my new transmission in so there could be multiple issues going on with that side of the car, I would just like some idea of where to start looking at.

After looking over that side of the car again I saw that the end link on that side for the sway bar was coming apart. I'm sure I did that on accident while putting the transmission in. Anyways, today I put new Moog end links on and the car is as good as new.
Son of a bitch! I just realized there's a how to for end link removal on here, I ended up using a grinder to get the bolt off. This post has been edited by krom8: Jul 5, 2012 - 10:19 PM -------------------- |
