front shocks/struts very stiff

[sho'noff]

It is hard to tell from inside the car, but to watch it going down the road then braking the back end comes up and the front end does not dip. maybe that is why my neck hurts.

What setup do you have?

 

[sho'noff]

230k miles stock suspension.

 

[dohcsable]

Uhhh......that's a first

It's most likely the rear struts and springs are completely toast.

Your probably so used to it you dont see the nose dive. Set up a cell phone and take a video of you slamming on the brakes to see how bad it actually is.

230k on stock set up, your a better man than I am. I was getting sea sick at 140K not to mention my tires were wearing crazy and making lots of noise from the cupping.

yeah, might be time to change those out, also check to see if you have any rear pads left on your brakes, if youve never changed those, this too could be a problem

 

[sho'noff]

the rear struts came off before when they were froze up in the winter but as luck would have it the nut for the springs wouldn't come out so they went back on. I also noticed the rear drivers side wheel wobbles/the rim has a dent/the rotor may be warped but that is just me eyeballing it who knows if while spinning it my head was moving.
another thing is the brakes seem to be hazed and screeching I tried taking a belt sander to the pads but it didn't change anything.
should it be taken to the lemons ultra 300k demolition derby race?

How about you just do some maintanence? Sounds like this car has been serverly neglected.

Sounds like it needs struts, brakes and a wheel bearing..

 

[rubydist]

it sounds to me like it needs to be taken to the garage for much needed repair work before you drive it, much less try to race it...

 

[sho'noff]

It does need maintenance I found my grease gun today.
It's not for racing, it's for sho.

It also appears that the headlights are pointing very close to the bumper. one of the valve stems has a leak and I can't just jack it up, pop the bead and throw another one in there with these low profile tires.

Calm the ego, none of us can understand your typing, or lack there of it.

It's hard to understand your posts, with their lack of punctuation and grammar. It took me a few tries to understand the one I've quoted here.

The front tire on the passenger side needs a new valve stem- it has a slow leak.
the headlights are pointing at the ground too close to the car.
I am going to find the grease fittings once the car gets here.
