Bounces when driving slow.


Q-Ball

Recommended Posts

I've noticed this for a while, when driving around 15 - 20 MPH, my car bounces a little bit. But anything faster its fine. It's had this problem since I got the car. Since than, I got xlaces with new rubber, kyb gr2's. The wheels have been balanced and I have had it aligned, twice.

 

Any idea's?

Maybe our shitty roads are to blame. Or your tires have flat spots from sitting.

 

Shitty roads 99.9%. I have new tires and same thing happens. Fuckin' 401...

Well, I got to find a nice smooth stretch of pavement and do a test. Getting sick of replacing all suspension and steering parts here. :willynilly:

 

ahahahah

 

I feel ya there. Between the roads and the wind here, I can't tell if my car is still pulling or not. It seems to be drifting... but once again, roads. Good thing I got 3 years of unlimited alignments. :D

The suspension on all cars compensates more the faster the speed, therefore if you are driving on the shittyest road on the face of this earth at 200 mph itll be alot better then 5 mph

Within reason I suppose. But if you hit a large hole at 200mph I'm sure you'll have some spectauclar damage

:werd: I'd rather hit a huge pothole at 40 instead of 70 or 80.

Where does it say hitting a pothole, i was just talking about shitty poorly paved roads

Its not the roads, mine did the same thing (and still does) so i tested it on a newly paved asfault road and it still did it. its in the rear end and now that i remember i test drove a 93 cutty hard top and it did the same thing. im about to do the coil over conversion, tubular trailing arms and ladder links in a few weeks, ill let u all know if this solves the problem. also try new hub assemblies on the rear, this might solve it also. (mine are original from 95)

I've noticed it with cold temperatures too. In the dead of winter, I thought I was driving a lowered civic without proper shocks. My car "pogo bounced" everywhere.

 

Roads up by you might have frost heaves. I know maine nh and vermont actually have signs on some roads for it. Its when icy water melts, gets under the pavement, re freezes and causes bumps all in the road. I guess they cant do anything about it and just put signs up.

Hmm maybe. We didn't get any signs warning us, but either way it went away in warm weather.

I'm sure cold temperatures affect suspensions directly. Rubber bushings can harden in cold temperatures, and shocks/struts could react more slowly to spring movement due to possible thickening of oil inside the shock/strut.
