The gen 3 is making noise all over! i recently received its new tires and before i want to put those on i want the suspension to be in correct order.

I have clunks coming from the back and front and the car doesnt feel comfortable. it feels clunky and noisy.

Now what can i do strut wise.

SARC's are very expensive unless i can find them for 97-98 a piece then maybe i might get them but for now i see it as FAT CHANCE.

Springs i sure do want to lower the car just a little bit not 1 inch like 0.5 i want the car to be comfy!

give me ideas on what to replace because most likely after i get all this done i dont want to touch the suspension again for another 50k miles. is 50k miles realistic after a full suspension overhaul?


Any ideas, comments, help, is surely greatly appreciated!

I'm going to say this. I just had my suspension completely redone, and it rides so much nicer. Like a completely different car. New tires help too :)

They installed new strut mounts, which were the sources of the clunk I heard from the front and back. I can't remember, don't have the receipt with me, what was all replaced up front. All I know is that they found alot of stuff that was pretty worn out.

I only wanted to get an alignment but I knew those squeaks and rattles had to come from something being *****'d

My car makes no rattles or squeaks anymore. Besides the console :frown:
