listen for excessive poppong noises while driving and if there is you have worn bushings, and also do a bumber joust test. Put ur knee on the front and back bumber, then bounce down hard. If the car rebounds back and stays, your shocks are fine. If it bounces excessively, you neeed new shocks, which is an exclent excuse for coilovers !

keep the car on the ground, the suspension needs to be supporting the vehicle's weight. Then, just wiggle suspension pieces around, there should be SOME play in it. IF there is NO or A LOT of play, then that bushing should be replaced. Its called a dry park test.

sometimes in a hard straight brake i hear a thunk in the front right area... but only happens sometimes... also at speeds higher than 50, only when going straight, every once and a while the car will pull slightly to one side, not always the same side, and when i correct with the steering wheel it goes back to normal, for a while... what do you guys think
