Suspension help please
I just bought a 1992 Prelude SI. This is my first Honda and driving this car is awesome! I haven't looked at the suspension yet, I just bought it last night, but on the freeway the rear end seems to "wag" when a bump is hit. I know it isn't a very good description of the problem, but do you have any guesses as to what it could be? Could it be the ball joints? Thanks for any help.

Re: Suspension help please
Could be ball joints and/or bushings. Jack it up and have a thorough look around.

Stock suspension or modified?

I know it sounds stupid, but I haven't had time to look under the car to find out if it is stock or modified. The car does look lower, the front tires almost tuck and the rear has maybe an inch of space between the tire and the fender.
I had Firestone look at it and they said the left rear hub assembly needs to be replaced, the rear control arm bushings are bad and the rear "tie rod ends" need to be replaced. Firestone quoted me $1200 for the work. I'd rather do it myself. This is my first Honda, so I am having some trouble finding the parts. I have found the control arm bushing kit, but I can't find the hub assembly or the tie rod ends. Can anyone help me with the search? They also said the front sway bar links are bad. Thanks for any help |

Re: Suspension help please
Mine has a problem that sounds very similar to yours. I believe mine is a wheel bearing. I am replacing the hub tomorrow, got the whole assembly with the bearing already pressed in for 25 bucks from AutoZone.
