Title: Problems
Post by: Phirus on May 25, 2006, 07:55:33 AM

I've got a slight problem with my rear suspension. To start off it sits lower than it should, for stock anyways, and secondly whenever I go over any bumps or anything, it makes a rattling sound.  Also, when I go over bumps, my steering column rattles.  I'm just wondering what causes this, and about how much it would cost to fix.  I'll post pictures of what it looks like when I get ahold of a camera.

Also, where can I get a o-ring for my fuel pump?  Dealership?

How old is your suspension? The rear end drop could be due to old coil springs. With age they lose their rigidity and don't support the car like they should. It's very gradual so it's very hard to notice. As for the rattle, check your bushings.
