I have a 1990 s13 fastback 5 speed manual. Let me preface by saying I'm very new to any sort of suspension work when it comes to cars, so this may seem dumb but im a newbie
So the car drove like it had 0 suspension when I first drove it. Awful ride feel. The first thing i tried was the bounce test. The car didnt budge up front, but had some bounce in the back so I decided to lift the front end to inspect the knuckles. When I jacked the car up and the wheel was off the ground, I watched the tire and whole assembly shoot down like the strut tower was releasing tension. I set the car back down, and when I pressed on the fender the car compressed and lowered, and then... stuck? It stayed down. The other side did the exact same thing. I don't know what this means except that there IS an issue. If anyone has any ideas/advice/resources I would be grateful
