Fish tailing suspension

[mr_adrenalin714]

To make a Long story short, Got a ticket for my car being to low, why? being a smart ass to a cop, Reinstalled stock springs, planning to install my lowering springs once again, But I was told I need new struts, So my question is do blown struts tend to make your car lose traction, Because I was turning sharply today and my car lost a little bit traction, but it kind of fish tailed on me and I could here my tires chirping trying to grip the road,

Sorry! for the LONG story after all

No, I don't have a rear sway bar, would this help me alot if I get one, I seen on a previous thread, that I would have to get one from a acura vigor, I thinks

Yes blown struts will compromise your traction. Instead of just settling your car will be bouncing around...probably the reason you heard your tires chirping. I bet it sounded like "skkrt skkrt skrrt skrrt"...very dangerous.

I once saw a car w/blown rear struts, and it got so bad over bumps that the back tires caught air. Get new struts.

Nice front end BTW.

blown struts, very low tire pressure is a result. also not having a rear sway bar is also a problem aaswell as a rear upper strut bar.
