rough ride - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #26357 5 posts Started by gtcelica94
it seems like i feel every bump in my car and i dont seem to know why. i think the shocks are good and there is fairly a good amount of thread on the tires. any ideas
none here...my ride is rough tooo! It loves every bump >biggrin.gif> Coomer told me once that it could be because of my low profile tires....

but I know for a fact that the main reason are the coil overs I had put on a year ago....its not as rough as it use to be though

maybe let a little pressure out of your tires.. how full are they?

your profile says "super strut" do you have any suspension work done?

If anyone needs interior stuff, etc, I'm parting whats left of my celi out. Just ask.
"superstrut" was on over seas celicas for the most part
the US never got super strut but it was a stock suspension setup

so i doubt he has them

but low profile tires create ruffer ride as well as lowered suspension
Test the shocks -- press down sharply on a corner and see if it bounces when it comes back up. If the movement neutralizes immediately, that corner is good. Repeat at all corners.

Check the condition of your springs, they are what absorb the initial shock while the absorbers smooth out the aftereffects.

What size are your tires?
