Suspension Problems!

Hey guys been having some probs with my 90' NA

it is hard to explain but the car has been feeling very un-controlled lately, not as responsive sdteering and crashing over bumps.

As i was pulling onto the M1 yesterday its a tight left hander thats 100k's which is usually great fun but the car didnt want to turn! nearly lost it! it was trying to pull the steering wheel back to the right.

Now its all stock gear under the car and the shocks are very bouncy and im wondering what could be causing this. RACQ came out and he couldnt find anything wrong but i'm thinking of taking it to fulcrum tomorrow.

If there is anything that needs replacing, im considering going to either tein ss or a shock/spring package. What would be the best setup? Also want to do the full super pro bush kit while im there any idea how long they'll need the car to do this work?

Thanks in advance
Chris

Takes an hour or two to put in Teins, depending on how rusted in some of your bolts are.

At the same time every arm, every arm mounting point, every bush on every arm, all the cam adjuster bolts and all the sub-frame mounts could be checked for looseness, wear or damage to find your problem. Then it will need a good 4 wheel alignment.

Add 6 - 8 hours to replace all the bushes if, and only if, they've got the right gear to do it (mainly a serious bush press).
