just put in new struts, handling is horrible, very touchy in corners, feels like it always wants to kick out, some times going straight car feels like something heavy in the trunk just kicked over to one side. the struts are installed right(i am absolutly positive), and everything is torqued to the right specs.

Did you get the car aligned after installing the struts?

OK, so I wasn't the only one a bit confused. I didn't go so far as to search for "trunk monkey" but I came close. Did you get your problem fixed?

Here (http://www.trunkmonkey.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=FAQ&file=index&myfaq=yes&id_cat=1&categories=What+is+a+Trunkmonkey%3F&parent_id=0) was the best explanation I could find. LOL!!:D High quality ale gets pricey, though.

Did you get your strut problem figured out? What was wrong, and how did you fix it?

strut problem was just camber plates in the rear, my friend put them back on and didnt tighten them down. so the strut was just floping around:(
:monkey: friends

the old "If you want something done right..."

I've been pretty lucky with the mods I've had friends help me with. No major issues. Glad to hear you got things sorted out.
