Many hondas use a double wishbone suspension. There is a U-shaped upper control arm which connects to a fork shaped arm that goes down to the spindle. Anyway, it moves the upper ball joint out over the tire for a sportier feel when turning. The downside is that it limits what wheel and tire combos you can fit in the wheel well without rubbing the upper ball joint. Our cars have a McPherson strut setup. There is no upper ball joint.

is that why you see those bars going from the wheels to the bottom of the car? i think it looks ugly. |

i hate the way my dad's 98 civic dx coupe handles. GSR's handle very well tho. i also hate my protege's handling, but what should you expect from a 1993 econo box 4dr car? -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition
