i wanna know what i can get that will give it the TAXI ride..
or even bounci aslong as it doesnt THUMP hard... a comfortable ride please help thx

 

really?

What exactly are you looking for and what exactly are your symptoms/issues?
Do you want to "upgrade", or just "replace"? (Aftermarket vs stock/OEM replacements)?

Come on man, throw us a freakin bone here ...

 

the car has stock suspension it's never been changed and it rides like **** it hits hole hard and i hate it i wanna comfortable ride i guess whats better stock or getting an upgrade what do u suggest?

 

Well, there are some sorta issues with "upgrading".. On here, upgrading = handle better. Doesn't seem as if you're into handling much, and you might be better off with all stock replacements. Is this true?

 

Buy a Crown Victoria.

/Thread

 

Buy a lincoln town car? They ride nice.

 

trade your struts for my dead ones and that solves both mine and your problem

 

If it rides terribly get new struts and top mounts.

 

IM FOCUS IS COMFORT BUT HANDLE WOULD BE GOOD TOO WORK STRUTS ARE RECOMMEDED?

 

TOKICOS OR KYB I ROLLED THE TOKICO WAY....

 

Get some new struts = problem solved...and go around holes you see

 

Ok I'll do tokico struts should I do springs also..?

 

you dont need to with blues

 

struts or a crown vic

 

so tokico struts do they come with the top mounts and leave the stock springs?

 

Your control arms might be bad too. I changed my struts and it was still hitting everything hard. So then I replaced my control arms and it fixed the problem.

 

No. Yes.

And here's the baby. Never more appropriate.

 

so im going to purchase the tokico blues right. do they come with the top mounts and i should buy the control arms stock right? im in Queens ny anybody know a good mechanic that will install it if a bring them the parts for a reasonable price?

 

Contact djfrestyl. He's in your area, and has done over 100 Maxima suspensions.

Research. Try it. It actually works.

 

Hmm, it's getting close to this

 

 

were is a good site to get the stuff i need ?tokico blues, top mounts & control arms for a reasonable price?

 

SO much noob in this thread.

syne164, I'm sending you a PM. Please call me and I will address ALL your questions and put you on the right track.

And then, once you have all the parts, I will install it for you.

 

^ may have saved this thread's life.


If not, IBTL

 

Lol - let's hope he calls.

 

and doesn't need one of us to get him a phone

 

I actually do this for a lot of org members. I'm happy to spend 20 minutes on the phone to answer questions and set myths straight.

Obviously it's nice if you're local so you can come to me for the installation job, but I'm still happy to help. All I ask in return is you consider my services, or purchasing a spare tire cover that I sell.

 

If only we had one of you over here. (nohomo)

 

Amen to that. (no-church-o)

 

I'll help whoever needs it, just can't actually do the work

Bah, you're close enough

 

LOL @ Rochester...gota admit..having a djfrestyl down here would help too...no hell-o

 

Ha ha! You're at least 6 hours away. So, no.

But you give great advice on the Org, and seem a very decent guy, so when north-easterners ask, I direct them to you.

 

Appreciate it

 

 

AWWWW I can literally feel the love through the screen.

:

 

had that same problem in my 2001 se and replaced the front struts to kyb and realignment ,,,no more thumping ,

 

Maxima and comfortable "taxi" suspension is never going to happen. The Max suspension is one of the firmest I have ever driven.

 

^ you haven't driven many, though the SE suspension is stiff for a Flagship vehicle.
