99 maxima on some drop springs and i changed front shocks few months ago and just warrantied another one out thinkin it was bad but same problem. the driver side iss STIFFFFF like it dont have a spring or no shock and other side is soft like normal i already took strut apart and its in put together right what could cause this problem.


it hit bumps really hard only thing i can think of is strut mount?

 

What springs and struts are on the car?
What size tire and wheel are you running?
What are they inflated to?
Have you inspected the front end for worn out ball joints and bushings?
Has it been aligned correctly?

The suspension should be stiff, epically on a set of sport lowering springs.

 

It is possible when your tightening the center that secure strut to mount and spring you're also Turing that strut pistion which can damage it. Make sure you use a hex wrench is the strut has a spot for it on top or carefully clamp the piston with a vice grip. Also check to make sure the strut mount is facing the right direction, this is most likely u'r problem, compare to side that's working properly.

 

Ebay springs and Monroe stuts and no this is WAY to stiff like theirs notthin their the damn car will come off the ground and slam down before it absorbs any bump.


and its only that one side.

 

stock wheels.....what could it be guys?

 

I always thought our driver side was weak on corners...I tend to scrape the driver side on tight corners and the driver side nada....must be the location of the transmission or I need to lose some pounds

 

check all bushings you could have bad ushings on drivers side...

 

something is not allowing the sturt to work or any of the suspension lol. might as well have a brick in place of stut..makes no since to me. its like theirs a ton of weight compressing the stut completely down constantly.

 

ebay springs possibly failing

 

Seems you installed something incorrectly. YOu got the ebay coilovers? with the blue spring seat? Where did you put it? hopefully not on the bottom or else your sturt set-up probably has slack in it and it comes crashing down on that plastic seat

 

It's your transmission mount.
