Suspension help

I have some interesting banging going on with my suspension so I'll be needin' to address it soon. This would open a window to look at some cost effective mods to make. Any suggestions on what I can accomplish with a very stock 94 SVX front wheel drive?

regards

Ken

First step would be to narrow down the source of the noise and work from there.

does it happen while you are on the brakes to any extent?? I used to have a rattle and then check it out and fond to be missing parts(PO was a moron). Check it out, I still have rattle I need to check

Noise

It occurs mostly when I hit a decent sized pot hole or bump. I've taken the wheels off and haven't seen anything glaring. I'm assuming I need to look at shocks and maybe springs. The car has 80,0000 miles and hasn't had much work done to it.

I'm about to get the tranny flushed. Shifts seem to be a little sluggish.

Thanks for the input.

regards

Ken

You need to look closer. Make sure the slide bolts are tight and that the lock sleeves insides the boot are still there... That is what was missing on mine
