i got my struts changed 2 days ago and now my suspension is really hard. its like i feel every part of the road. also i get screetching noisies (similar to a burnout) when making a right turn (only sometimes though). i dunno what up with it, im going there again to have them take a look at it, but thought i get some feedback before i do.

 

how bad were the struts before they were replaced? what were they replaced with?

 

old struts/shocks will wear and cause the ride to be too soft. This allows the tires to bounce too much, losing contact with the road for brief intervals. The new struts, no matter what brand, should be firmer. You are going to feel the difference between old and new, especially if you've been driving on worn struts. When I changed them in my gxe, I felt every rock in the road, and was a much rougher ride. The firmness I'd say is normal.
Now for the screeching part, are the tires screeching or is it your suspension. If it's the tires, you've got the same problem as me, a lead foot.

 

if you installed kyb's struts, you are going to have a rough ride, i am riding on them and it hurts to hit a bump.

 

buncho wooooses in here 'It's roughh... oooh ahhh'

Get stockers if you wanna feel comfy. I could use a second set up kyb's to replace mine way down the road.

 

I like rough rides, it makes me feel like im driving a sports car, and I'm definately no wuss...You wanna fight?

 

the car seems to drive itself. the steering has become loose and moves a bit when driving.

 

sounds like something else came loose when they did the struts.
