Rough Ride

Alright guys, lets see who could answer this one for me.
Heres the problem. My ride on my car is good one day, sucks another. Mostly bad. The handling is sometimes good, sometimes sucks. Now, my tires were bald, so I bought new tires, Yokahama's V rated. I had an alignment done, wheel balance. I had three different mechanics check the suspension shocks and springs, and their telling me their fine. Well, I could basically feel every bump i go over with this car, and I know for fact its not supposed to be like that. So anyone got any clue on what this could be? I'm thinking that these mechanics don't know shit, and I need shocks or springs or something, what do you guys think?

Hey you know you right, i did some research, and there was a recal for the 3.0 as well. I wonder if thats the problem, thanks for your advice. Is there anybody else that went through with this recall?

Balljoint recall? I seem to be having problems with my handling as well, that could be my problem... Anyways, excuse my ignorance, but where are the balljoints located, and what do they do?

Yeah I had the ball joints re packed with grease 2 times, then the fucking thing broke on me and the wheel fell off not a good time....Acura replaced both axles and ball joints...teaches them not to do it the cheezy way and re-pack them shits with grease. The recall is listed here at the Acura of Mission Viejo website check it out.

also there is a emissions warranty on only 97 CL's check it out here here


Be careful with the ball joint recall that is pretty dangerous...

Since you guys are talking about NJ, does anyone use the Classic Acura dealership on rt 38 (i think its 38 havent been there in a while) in the cherry hill area? I always brought my car there for service and was wondering if they fixed this thing under the recall or if i should go to my dealership in the crappy state of Florida and see about it?

Yeah, I bought my car at Acura of Ocean so they did the work on the car. ASk for Chris (its a woman)..make sure they replace the joints and not re pack...if they say we can only repack just mension yeah you know mark from old brigde his wheel fell off, and i dont want that happening to my car. BUt i doubt they will give you a problem. I think john is also in the service department he is cool. Should take like a day..get that RSX :P

But Acura might make you bring it back to the original dealership so call them up first 732 776-5200

1stgencl --- I dont jack about cherry hill sorry bro....

I just moved to Cherry Hill and have been to the Sussman Acura Dealer on 38. I haven't gotten any work done there. Just ordered some parts. Let me know if they know their ass from their elbow.
