I picked up a Evo8 2004 w/ 159k and now has Zeal coil overs, alignments and even corner balancing.

while the car feels fine in straight line it feels bit unsettled and wobbly when turning.

Front ties bars are rusted and need replacement but I'm thinking now wheel bearing assemblies need replacement?

Can you guys chime in what parts maybe needing replaced? Thanks.

Before any more power mods this suspension has to be addressed...

 

are the coil overs blown maybe?

 

Maybe how do tell for sure?
Thx

 

If the coilovers needed to be rebuilt you'd probably be able to visually see leaking fluid.

There are also ways to check to see if their rebound is within spec. Check their site, or search to find out how.

 

They do not always leak fluid when blown (or could be past that point and have none left to leak). High spring rates will mask straight line response to a point.

I would disassemble and push in every piston to get a raw feel for how they are. If one has a high resistance/impedance to return (doesn't come back up) or none (piston falls in too easy) -- then you'll have a ride issue.

yeah not always u will get leaking. the internal seals could be bad. my factory struts were toasted and there was no leaking.
