I JUS CHANGE SHOCKS BUT...............

[neckto]

I just change out my two rear shocks cause whenever ppl sitting in the back the inner edge of the fender used to rub on the tyre and damage it
but the problem still exists mainly on the right hand side what can i do to rectify this problem?
could it be that the spring lost tension? is that possible?
i wanted to lower the car but not with this problem
i will trim the fender edge soon but i want to know what causing this in the 1st place

[phreakazoid]

Probably every time u notice it iz cuz the ppl u have on the right hand side always heavier .. ............ or it could be that your spring lost tension .. maybe you should try changing it and see if that helps .... You can also check to see if your spring buffers are in good condition also.The tyres are cutting inside the fender because your are probably using the wrong profile and width of tyre .... try to stick close enough to the the manufacturer's specs and u'll be fine .

sounds like the springs are done...........


BTW.......phreakazoid made a good point about the buffers

[aR&D]

i had the exact issue you described Neckto.... and it was the springs that was shot.

Not shocks or springs.....when you load up ppl in yuh car it must drop!
Tyre size and rim offset is important.....i had a similar problem and switched to flaken tyres....i was able to use 195/50/15 without any problems on d baleno.
U see the top of the tyre goes inwards so it gives you clearance. i load up about 10 boxes of tiles and nuttin touch.

[neckto]

well i switch to 15"s and i running sp9000s @ 205/50
so i know it kinda cramped for room but i still feel the springs shot i wanted to know if this was actually a reality that springs loose tensions like that

[static]

i could never run 205 on d baleno, d civic takes that size easy.........
What difference would it make if d springs loose tension? Would it mean that they would compress more? Then it would simulate drop springs!
I personally have never experienced that....ppl who put stiffer springs change the ride and the height of their car.

The B&G springs i put on d baleno were quite softer than d original, the car bounced around a lot more and the shocks banged.....i drove it like that for years until recently i replaced the shocks and thread it down 1.5"......now it real good.

[neckto]

i wonder which springs would work nicely on my car?
unless i have to go hunting for foreign used 323 springs which gonna be kinda hard

[Greypatch]

2 things..

yuh springs gorne thru
or the tyre profile/rim offset is to large...

[neckto]

i going to trim the fender edge where it fold inwards

[Underground Master]

check Corbin behind FCB in Barataria he go advise yuh what to do ah heavier spring might help ya

[Underground Master]

upgraded to some cortina springs on a sunny and it was real boss wid load and some 215/50 on 8" wide rims

[Underground Master]

leh meh know if he workout someting for ya
