So im running wide wheels 9.5 in the front and 11 in the back. My ride suffers a bit from that. On the freeway my car is a bit shaky in the interior, and the ride has become a bit rougher. It is a bit scary to drive the car at 110-120 also, because i think that exessive shaking will cause me to lose control... Its not horrible at 70, but i would like it a bit better maybe softer is the word im looking for? lol.
My car is not lowered.

So my question is, is there a somewhat of a cheaper way to make my car's ride a bit softer? I dont want to switch my wheels. Im thinking softer shocks. Also, since i will be doing suspension, why not throw in basic cheap "must have" suspension mods? What are they? my funds cannot allow me to go over $500 on suspension for now...

I understand that relocation brackets reduce wheel hop, but would they work with stock suspension?


car is 2002 t/a

figure out the shaking first....that's not supposed to happen.

my 9.5/11 rims don't shake at any speed.

softer shocks will only make handling worse...not reduce the shaking you feel.

Hello
I have a few suggestions for you! Check you sway bar end links (does the car have a sway bar even on it?) and tie rod ends! And as far as the Lower Control Arm Relocation Brackets they will work fine with the Lower Control Arms. Below is a link to show you that we offer two versions a weld on and a bolt on.

did you also mix and match tires! tread wear can be a factor too

Possibly tire balance, or drive shaft balance.

I agree, I work in a tire shop and with the vibration not occuring until highway speeds is usually a wheel balance issue.. if you dont get weights on the outside most shops will do a static balance cause its easier and faster but is like the worst balance, if you use hammer-on weights inside and out use (dynamic balance), and for sticky weights use (alloy 2) that way you get a good balance but dont have to have weights on the outside... hope that helps sorry this is so long but i finally feel like i can help someone ha ha
