Just replaced all 4 struts and expected a beautiful ride and the noises which I thought were the struts to dissapear but now the noises are still there. When I hit bumps it sounds like something is severely loose in the front and back. My front suspension is all new with the exception of the inner tie rods so I can't understand what the noise could be. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

sounds like ur gona hafta get under there w a prybar and see whats loose...probably a bad bushing...inspect em all

If they're bad, I'll notice it for sure if I pry at it? I was thinking control arms of some sort, or sway bars cuz they look old as hell.

Have you replaced the ball joints and/or bushings?

timeizmoney22

The front upper and lower ball joints I replaced and the stabilizer bushings as well. That's it for bushings though. Just wanna figure it out and replace, because it's very frustrating to hit a bump and hear this all around the car. I'm gonna do upper control arm and rearward and forward control arms in the rear of the car within a few weeks so I'll keep you posted.

I had this issue when my shock tower bushings went, I replaced all my bushings with PolyUrethayne

<Noob lol I put all new strut mounting kits when I did the struts, is that what your talking about? Or is there something different that you mean? Thanks man!

Where did you get these?

Update! Replaced my front swaybar bushings(the middle two) and the bobbles in the front are gone. Yay!!!!!!!! On to the rear as that's been worse from the start. Just ordered the two middle bushings for the rear swaybar today from Acura and already have the outers from rockauto.com. Think I'm gonna pull the whole bar off and sand it down as it looks rusted and ancient.

you should check out the poly bushing sway bars from st suspension much better than stock :0

if you want the ploy bushings all around order them from energy suspension..94-97 accord master set..will fit our cars

At the moment, just trying to get her riding smooth on a budget. For the 4 sway bar bushings, it cost me like $19 and probably another $30 for the front links and bushings. Can't cough up $120 +shipping at the moment. What is included in that kit? Pretty much every bushing for the suspension?

soloed

includes everything..worth the buy

Finished the rear swaybar bushings today and it sounds even better. The back is tighter feeling although there is still some clunk in the back right, but less since I replaced the 4 swaybar bushings!

Older thread but ended up being the rear right trailing arm. One of the 2k out of the arm. smaller bushings wal
