redoing suspension

mikeXmayhem · 10-12-2009, 07:15 PM

Im redoing my suspension, not going full performance, just replacing what I believe needs replaced before it falls apart. What all components do I need? I have the shocks and springs so far, be specific.

Check the bushings. They're probably shot. There are urethane ones available.

The fronts will see the most wear, but it's recommended that you do the rears as well. You can get both from Lithia Toyota (our board sponsor) and they'll be OEM parts (Lithia is a dealership). You should also look into balljoints and tie rods. Once you're all done, get the car aligned and make sure your tires are balanced and such.
