another "knocking" thread

Coming from both front wheels only audible from inside. Getting loader now even hear it at 40 mph on these old sonoma roads!! I have suspension mods as fallows upper strut, fender braces, eibach springs. Only done shake and visual inspection with no leads.. yes, everything is torqued to specs. any bump makes my front wheels feel like there about to fall the hell off. Any possible help is greatly appreciated. Located in the 707 any shops want some work holla! I have ten thumbs so professional help is nessissary.

You really have gone 125k with no maintenance? Do you do it yourself? Or just not done at all??

change of plans, im going to start with what i know.. having put on eibach springs and using the compressiors. im sure i can replace my struts on my own.

i havent takin the time too look into aftermarket suspension systems. and frankly, im no weekend track buff.. more of a rush-hour road warrior

im looking for some struts that will give me the most drivablity for having an evergrowing chassis stiffening list

any suggestions for budget struts? any other parts needed top hats?

GR2's or AGX's. can be found a lot of places and for really good price.

I'd also suggest getting a Energy Suspension UR bushing kit in black. The red ones will squeak.

Yeah, depending on if you want to be able to adjust the strut a little bit then you can pick up the agx's but unless you do the occasional track day/auto-x I wouldn't bother buying anything other than a better than oem quality strut. Hence GR2's
