Crashy Suspension!

10th March 2009, 13:10

I have 50mm lowered springs on the front with standard shocks. It was fine at first but hit a curb in the snow. I have checked all wishbones and drop links and they are fine. I have even changed wish bones in case. When I push down the car it springs back up and settles nice so Its not the shocks.!!

Any ideas?

So whats the actual problem because you haven't stated what happened when you hit the curb

lol as above.

It still could be your shock, just becouse you pushed down on it and it settled like normal dont mean its fine. Just your weight wont show up a dodgy shock.

Also you lowered won on standard dampers, so has your spring rotated a bit at the top and not seated properly?

sorry! lol

When going over uneven road or over a speed bump the suspension is solid and sounds really rugged and feels crashy!

I have checked the bottom and this sits in the cup fine. Would the top still rotate if the bottom hasnt?
