[quote name='NoeVuh' date='May 6 2005, 08:59 PM']sorry for not being descreptive, i was kind of in a hurry i guess. Well it only does it when you hit bumbs. It is hard to descripe, i definantly know its not a clutch dump, ahhaha. Its like something is loose that shouldn't be. maybe it is something else besides the suspension that is shaking around but sometimes it seems like i feel the vibrations in the steering wheel. Well i am getting new shocks soon so maybe i will be taking a look at a lot of stuff while i am doing that. Sorry for not being very much more descripitive and i did not mean any offense to you as a mechanic it is just i have a hard time trusting mechanics around here with rotarys.

fd's do that when the shocks are bad. coll thing is on an fc to change the shocks you almost have everything apart, so you can look it all over while you're in there

This is a classic example of why preventive maintenance is important. Lets FACE REALITY. 90% of our FC's are high milage with unknown maintenance historys.



Before you go the mad-mods route. Do a thorough tune-up and maintenance check

Aw, Pops! You're no fun. If we do that, we'll use up all of our $60. performance mods budget on boring stuff like spark plugs and fuel filters.

[quote name='GreyGT-C' date='May 7 2005, 04:37 PM']how about if the car was up on jackstands, then you supported the front tires to normal ride height?

i think that would be a scary jacking situation when all you have to do is jackup and support the control arms.



i dont like jacking on something thats already jacked up ya know?



but if you could do it safely i guess it would work, except if you support the tire how are you going to chec for play in the balljoint if you cant move the tire?
