^excellent. i will let you know too. so far, i can drive on it without issues. i'll let you know when my wheel falls off.

yeah it's ridiculous. i would have quit a long time ago if i didn't like my car so much.

yes but the eibachs arent adjustable....

the agx are adjustable and are backed by a LIFETIME WARRANTY

i had agx's on my rd when i had it...if i wasnt lazy i wouldve removed em and put em on the j2 before i sold it

BIG difference in handling

Well, had the wheel off and the car up in the air, no idea what's making the knocking sound. I was most concerned with the ball joint, my dad's broke on his Monte Carlo and his wheel came off enough to turn sideways and really screw up the fender. I couldn't get the ball joint to budge. I couldn't make anything budge. Everything looks fine and seems to work fine. I jacked the suspension up and down and nothing moved in an odd way. I'm guessing it might be a blown strut in my case. I'll drive it for a while and see how it does.

^same exact thing going on here. it's got me stumped. the struts seem to respond well and the ride height is the same down to the MM.

my question is how would a blown strut make noise? i guess if there's no gas, it knocks into the bottom of the shaft?

I'll almost guarantee it's a bad strut mount in both of your cases. Take it out and inspect it.

I'm going to buy some GR-2's and new strut mounts, so if it is the strut mount it'll fix it.

I did check my tie rod end, had essentially no play in it.
