hi just a quick question about my acura. this is the 1st one ive ever owned so i really dont know to much about it. i have a 2000 Acura RL with 170k that i just brought. heard the cars last forever but this one seems to be driving me crazy. i hit a bump with the rear driver wheel the car jerks to the right. i hit a bump with the rear passenger wheel it sounds like the wheel still bouncing. now i had a mechanic look at it he said the the bushing is gone on the shock on the passenger side and the upper control arm has alot of play in it. he told me that the front bushing for the lower trailing control arm where it attaches to the frame beneath the rear passenger door is bad.

now would i need to replace the springs along with the shocks if so where can i get them from?

also where could i get the parts from cheap if anybody knows

and finally someone else looked at it and told me that my rear lower control arms are bent that is why my wheels are leaned in. is that true or could it just be from the shocks and control arms?

i hope i gave enough detail if i could get any answers with anything i would apperciate it

 

I dont know why your car jerk to the right if you hit a bump, again I don't know nothing about suspension, but you can try rock auto, they have a lots of products and at an affordable price. Do you want to lower your car? If so you can get the TSX coilover. If you want to stick to stock height, you can get Koni or Monroe shocks. Good luck.

 

i found out the problem the subframe where the lower rear control arms meet in the middle underneath the car that "bracket" where they bolt up is bent because the previous owner tried to drive over something,cleared it in the front and didnt in the back bent that threw the alignment off making my tires go bald and weareing out the lower bushing in my shocks smh people
