98 civic - shocks?
As some of you may have read in other posts, I was having a brake drag
problem. 98 civic lx 5 spd. 282000kms. I hit the brakes at highway speed, lost control, and ended up in the ditch. Car is mostly OK, as am I. Upon thinking about the performance of the car once I started to lose control, it occured to me that perhaps the weak shocks I have contributed to my inability to regain control of the vehicle once the skid started. The shocks on this car have never been replaced, and I live in Winnipeg, so I'm sure that even though they pass the bounce test, they are probably done. Can anyone lend any credence to this? Anyways, I have called around, and geez are these things expensive! $149.99 each x 4. Thats for Monroe Sensatracs. It seems that nobody bothers to carry anything else. Fortunately, I called around and found the same Monroes for $101.24 each. Are Monroes OK? Or should I be heading to the dealer for these? t -- Message posted via CarKB.com http://www.carkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx...-cars/200708/1 |
