Blown strut???

[Ikudni]

I just replaced the struts on my 7G with KYB GR2's 3 months ago.. I noticed yesterday that my rear left is hanging an inch lower than the other side and handling seems a little off. Did I blow the strut???

prolly, are there any noises? odd/bouncy ride back there?

[Ikudni]

No noises.. but it feels a little twitchy. Damn.. at least it's a cheap replacement

Your spring may be broken. Shocks and struts don't affect ride height that greatly.

Thanks.. I'll get the springs checked out when I take it in to look at the strut.. I've been wanting some Eibachs anywayz.

At this time you may as well check out the rest of your suspension, sway bar links, springs, struts, etc etc.... make sure everything is in good condition.

Is your ride really bouncy or does the car feel 'floaty' over bumps?

[Ikudni]

It's not bouncy, but I felt like the left right was 'off'... a little wobbly.. I just replaced the struts with KYBs in May. I lent this chick my car though a couple of weeks ago (i know.. stupid) and I suspect a curb jumped out at her cause the tire (also replaced in May) is a little scratched on the sidewall. I don't recall hittin any major potholes to hard.

But that's good advice. I had the front control arms replaced in Feb. and may as well check everything else out too.

Thanks..

Turns out the spring was shot. I went to the local junk yard and got a spring off of a 96 G and replaced it. Next spring I'm going to get new wheels and tires and planned to redo my suspension then. Thanks for the advice though.
