struts, shocik or springs?
here're the best pic that I could have taken without raising the car. He going fine on the highway, but the whenever there is a slightest bump in the road, the whole care shook like it going to fall apart. What are you guys suggestion? raise the adj spring? but I like my car lower. or do I need new shocik and strut?
I'm gonna have say struts as well. The struts are responsible for slowing down the springs. It sounds like the springs are just going wild so i would look into some new struts.
thanks guys for all the replies. I'm such a newbie at this
. Hey 4door, its not like a vibration, the whole car bounce almost off the ground when I hit a bump and generally, its a bumpy ride, very bouncy, I hate to call it "rice", but thats what it feel like. thanks darkness for the info, I didn't know what the struts are for but I do now
. And Jake, I don't have any ideas about the spring rate or even what kind they are, I can try to track down my friend that sold me the car and try to find out but if not, where can i find that info? Thanks so much guys for all the help

Well I wouldn't worry about the springs for now. It is more than likely your struts. Reason I was asking about spring rate is because if they put on some cheap aftermarket springs they more than likely have a high spring rate. The higher the spring rate the stiffer the ride and vice versa.
