Ball Joints / Control arms, etc... (my car drives like crap... something is up!)

[deevergote]

Yup... My car drives like crap. From the symptoms (squeak when I hit a bump, or even push on the car) it sounds kinda like the lower ball joint. However, I looked and it looked alright. I pryed at it and it didnt' seem to move much. The upper control arms looked like crap though... I'm wondering what the problem really is! I suppose I should replace it all anyway, but I'm pretty poor!

Can someone possibly give me some ideas on how to check more thoroughly, and places to by GOOD replacement parts? www.hondaautomotiveparts.com is down at the moment (or for good, I dunno)

This could also be worn anti-sway bar bushings, primarily the two that attach the bar to the body.

The most noticeable time for me was going over bumps at low speed, such as over the curb into or out of your driveway. Low-speed bumps around town such as potholes or anything that really extended the suspension but was slow and quiet enough for you to hear brought out the "skrunch" sound.

maybe it just needs to be lowered more cause bro your up very high j/k

High my ass... I'm down nearly 2". That's almost TOO low! I have to go around the speed bumps at school, and my lip is all torn up from hitting hidden dips in the road. I'm not meant to drive really low cars. I go way too fast.

I got my upper control arm on ebay for 60 shipped brand new. Came from Canada Eh.

Car has no vibration in the front anymore at highspeeds

And I replaced swaybar endlinks and geeze the car handles much better.
