Tokico Struts HP vs S/R

[Guest]

anyone ever use both type i have tokico hp right now and the 2 front are blown and need to replace them but for the price of 2 hp i can get 4 zx2 s/r struts

they will be used with ground controls any input would be helpful

[therieldeal]

ive never used the HP's but the s/r's seem to work great with my ground controls.

i need to replace them i getting all kinds of feedback from the frontend and cant tell whats bad but the struts

i changed out my transmission thinking the diff was going bad and i am still getting the axle shake feeling when i tap the throttle also changes both mounts and intermediate shaft

s/r struts are made by tokico

your axles may be bad. are your engine mounts bad? ball joints? tie rods?

[Guest]

i replaced the axles thinking it was that but it was not the mounts i just replaced

cant tell if ball joint tie rod or wheel bearing are bad used all the methods i know of to check them

With the car jacked up grab the sides of the wheel and shake them. If there's movement that's a good sign of bearing or tie rod failure. Grab the top and bottom and shake. If there's movement this is bearing or ball joint failure. You don't habe to shake hard. You'll feel the movement almost instantly. Hope that helps.

yea i did that and nothing maybe its just the struts but i dont see why it would feel like the axle/diff is moving even with a different transmission and intrm, shaft

[Guest]

anyone know a good place to buy a set of s/r struts east coast?

still not sure if i should buy new struts because they might blow when i lower the car in the summer i set my gc coilovers as low as i can with the lower spring perch still on the strut

low and performance/function do not go hand in hand........

[Guest]

the front struts were blown before i installed the coilovers found that out when i was installing them but the rears are fine even after i lowered the car

i think they blew from pulling in and out of my driveway

[Guest]

well my engine feels like it moves when i let off the throttle and have my hand on the shifter i feel the shifter move allot and it shouldn't do that with the es mount inserts

[FE3-323]

you must fill your mounts, inserts don't do jack really to prevent movement when compared next to a filled mount.

When my strut blew it made some pretty ridiculous noise over bumps

[Guest]

the noise isn't over bumps then engine and trans it self are moving even with urethane inserts
