Hey guys, I have tokicos and eibachs installed on my 93. This past winter i think the suspension crapped out and now the car hops like low rider whenever i hit the slightest bump. What should I do? BTW, I installed the eibachs and tokicos like 5 yrs ago but only drove less than 10k miles since then.

Many thanks

If you want to be safe, pull them out and take them springs off the struts and see if they are still good. I would have replacements ready at that point so you can just throw them in at that point.

Let me know if one of the fronts is still good.

Sounds like the struts might be worn. I'd replace the Tokicos with a set of Monroe Sensatracs as long as your springs aren't broken. The ride will be much softer with the Sensatracs.

I run the same setup.

I had some goofy bouncing going on once. I pulled out my front struts, and the cap that holds the strut cartridge in had come loose on one side.

I had the same problem with my tokicos, when I replaced them i was horrified at what I saw. you're are probably something similar if you've left them so long.
