.Rich. 0 Posted September 12, 2005 Sorry if this has been asked a million and one times. I have done a search but it goes over my head lol. I have a few questions, which are probably pretty basic but as i know nothing about cars (yet) and cant seem to find a decent site explaining different things im asking you lot :) Firstly, my corrado's ride is abit harsh so im thinking of upgrading the suspension (and lowering a bit) at some point but i cant afford that just yet so what else can i change in the mean time? Ive heard alot of talk about bushes, bearing, top mounts, wish bones etc etc but i dont know/understand what these are and what they do? I think these are all original on my corrado so pressumably they would be worth changing? So what would you recommend i change and could you just give me a quick idea of what it is/does?! Or alternatively give me a url for a site with a sort of car part dictionary or something lol! Thanks for your help! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crdo16v 0 Posted September 12, 2005 Dunno, but I suggest a bit of bush :cat: Seriously though the "ride" (i'll resist a pun here) should not be too harsh. Maybe get your Raddo up on a ramp at a garage you trust & get them to check out shocks/springs etc, any duff items can then be first priority. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GIXXERUK 0 Posted September 13, 2005 a lot of things will add to the ride being harsh , 17" wheels due to a smaller side wall on the tyre, worn bushes or top mounts, worn or lowered supension/springs top mounts - these are donut shaped rubber that sit at the top of the front strut, between the strut and top of the front wing wishbone - this links the bottom of the suspension to the cars body, if you look at the bottom of the front strut you will see - ball joint-wishbone (also called the control arm) hth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
