will a 96 bumper fit on my 97 or is the molding for the trunk going to not fit let me know thanks......


also when I hit around 80mph my steering wheel feels like a side to side motion hard to describe I am going to high speed balance tires but just have a bad feeling that it can be bearings or bushing's but have no clue when bearings and bushings are bad what does it drive like. I have illumina struts and 1.5 tokico red springs but this steering wheel feeling was same with stock struts and springs but way worse. let me know everything is appreciated I really would like a super straight solid feeling suspension and it is very shady at high speeds.

you will have a huge gap at the bottom of the trunk if you put a 96 bumper on your 97. the 96 bumper actually looks completely different than the 97 bumper. also your exhaust might stick out a little if you put the 96 bumper on. but it will bolt up

get all your wheels balanced and check out lower ball joints, tie rod ends, and sway bar end links. then get an alignment

 

Make sure you high speed balance all 4 tires. If it doesn't help then whatever GoldMax96 said.

I had a similar problem with a lot of vibration, so I replaced control arms, tie rod ends, and sway bar end links, sway bar bushings, balanced , did an alignment. I also installed Tokico blue with Tokico red springs. I can still feel some slight vibration on some rough highways. If the road is smooth there is no vibration.

I think there is a bushing in the steering column which is responsible for some vibration. My steering wheel vibrates slightly in N and D when the car stopped (motor mounts are fine).

 

thanks the high speed helped alot need to test more and will replace other recommended parts

you can hear the bearings when they are hanging up. so truct me you would know if they are goin out. gold max is right except the swaybar end links is the last thing you want to worry about. that may be why he put that last but just so you know.
