I have a lowered 97 5-spd Maxima, Progress springs and GR-2 Struts. I put them on myself but had to manufacture the bump stops and rubber pieces out of the wrong pieces I had (basically we made the wrong pieces work) Now, I am searching for confirmation from the board if this could cause my car to not sit correctly and therefore the cv seal to wear more rapidly than normal? Also, I was trying to find those rubber suspension parts that go on the front of the car on top of the spring/strut. Does anyone have a link to information about them and a place that sells them? Thanks so much for the help.

 

pm mzmgt maybe he can help you

 

Sprints are "supposed" to be so drastic a drop that the CV joints wear out faster. I put that on quotes because I have a friend with a 96 who's been on GCs for as long as I've known him (about a year and a half) and his CVJs are fine.

So because of that, my opinion on this issue is that your CV joints were going bad from before, but the drop just made it easier for you to notice it.

that's my 2 cents

 

humm... i've been on sprints for 2.5 years.. and have not had problems with my cv joints.

 

if i get springs and struts what else do i need to get to install suspension?

 

I went through 3 CV Joints in 4 months on Sprints....

Put H&R's on - and nothing bad has happened since.
