This past weekend I replaced my two broken CV Joints. I have a 1993 Accord w/ Manual Tranny and ABS.
The car was sitting for about a month while I was away on business. I tackled the repair job (didn't drive the car until after joints were replaced) and now have a problem with suspension. The car bounces up and down about 4 or 5 times over small bumps, and over large bumps there is a painful THUD! I don't know if my car is bottoming-out here or not.
I heard that one should tighten the ball joints while the wheels are on the ground and I intend to try that, but generally I don't know what could cause this problem. I don't know to suspect my shocks, bushings, or ball joints. The bushing on my steering arm looked bad (what does bad look like anyway?) but I don't have a problem with steering. If my bushings are suspect, how can I tell if they look bad?
Thanks for any advice!!
