i have a '91 civic hb and i know that my c.v. axle on the drivers needs to be changed and that both upper control mounts need to be changes asap. But i just went in the rain and had some fun with my car and when i tried to spin the front tires, the front end was hopping. Do you think it is the c.v. cause it shakes when i do like 80km/h on the highway, but i let go of the gas and itdoesnt shake as much???

 

so you know your cv boot is fucked, and both upper control arms are messed, yet you still do a burn out? smart.

the hopping is normal for fwd cars from what i understand.

 

So why when my friends do it they dont shake or hop, WTF. I think cause it is the c.v. shaft.

and the "joyride" i just had was around my block a couple times

 

how are your motor mounts?

 

The front drivers side is looser then a downtown prostitutes -----. But its all good cause imma do the swap n e ways so i gotta change them.

 

mafiaboy......you're a moron.....u dont deserve to be driving a car....

 

^hahahahhaa

 

LOL don't do burnouts...plain and simple it's common for a FWD to do that. don't drive like an idiot. it doesn't make you cool

 

^^

LIAR!! ALL CIVIC HATCHBACKS ARE COOLIO!!!!!! .................y0!!!

 

Traction bars help. You can also try dropping your tire pressure. Might be loose bushings. Give the tire a few strong tugs and see if you can feel any play. But seriously, do your burnouts at the drag strip.

 

Holy ----, My alignment teacher allowed me to take it in and inspect it and these are the things wrong:

The bushings in the front and rear are all loose,
the gear linkage is loose,
where the gear linkage meets up with the tranny, there is like a rubber boot, that is like kinda cracked and leaking
Both upper control mounts are ----
windshield washer tube that goes to my driver side "sprayer" is split and doesnt spray, leaks through engine compartment
rear passenger tire, a whole strip of thread is gone all the way around the wheel

 

 

ok after all that...how much have you lowered your car?? if you've mickey moused ur suspension then ur gonna have tire hop becuse your shox arent traveling, so all your car can do is bounce, so stop cuttin coils and bindering out ur car lol do it right, and it'll feel right
