Stiffer Steering
Thursday, April 06, 2006 11:48 AM
Besides the mysterious power steering leak, my car makes several noises when driving, a crunching noise when turning (not stopped like one other post said he was having trouble with) and also a squeaking noise when going over bumps. I have my car lowered and have stock stuts (I'm sure that might be the squeaking problem). The car just doesn't seem solid all the way through a turn.

1) What can I do to get rid of the noises?

2) What can I do to get that more solid feeling?

take a look at this faq... i think itll help a bit.
HOW TO LOWER A CAR THE RIGHT WAY
and then if you feel really interested, take a look here:Suspension Faq

i may be worng on the whole squeeking thing, but it could be the struts have blown from riding on sportlines, or any drop for that matter. but if your lookin for a stiffer ride those links will REALLY help.
and if you're riding on the sportlines with stock struts, ur gonna need to look into either the koni yellows or tokico d specs... theyre a bit pricey, but thats what you need if youre gonna do it the rite way. whatever you do, dont go cheap... itll hurt a a LOT..

hope i helped a bit, andbest of luck dude

Crunch Noise: Not really sure. Where does it sound like it's coming from?
Squeak: Definately could be blown struts.
Loose feeling: Classic blown struts feeling, I'd be quite suprised if they're doing anything anymore.
