I'd like to start getting my 240SX ready for some street action. Can anyone give me any tips on rear suspension? When I hit the brakes, I feel something hit hard in the back. It feels like there may be a rear suspension arm that the bushings have worn out on... I don't know much about the car so if you have any suggestions and a few check points, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks

You'll want to load your pics up to someplace like photobucket, then drop the links into your post. :)

Control arms bushings? Differential bushings? Subframe bushings? Check those in that order. I vote on the subframe.

Looks clean, change oil, antifreeze, air filter, is it auto? Or 5speed? Throw some seafoam in the oil too, about half a can. I would give you the write up. But I'm currntly on my evo4g.

Awesome. I keep wanting a white S14

Just ask any basics you have. Also the big flashing red SEARCH button is your friend :yesnod:

Make sure theres nothing in your spare tire well sliding around, that could make some noise under braking too
