Poor ride quality 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Mr. Norm on  Fri Sep 14 08:59 CST 2007 [RELATED]

You have 118K on the stock suspension? Your shocks are toast, along with the strut mounts, and the sway bar links. The control arm ball joints and bushings are also probably quite crisp. Get replacement sway bar links from IPD, they last much longer than OEM. Bilsteins are an excellent choice, HDs are a bit stiff, TCs are like stock. Avoid ScanTech parts at all cost, pos.

Does the front of the car rise under hard acceleration? Your motor mounts are also nice and brown & ready for butter.

Good luck.
