is it my struts or springs?
well i started driving my 240 this week and i noticed when i get on the gas the tires will spin and i get a really bad vibration in the right rear
well i get out of the car and noticed that my driver side is lower then my right
i press down on the right side and i get bounce butt on the left i get no bounce
im gona get new struts butt would this cause my rear (right side)to bounce like crazy when i roast the rear and when i make turns as well??
and witch side is bad?
gona hit up a junk yard and pull a strut since the rear are the same just for the time beiing

^ You will see the sway bar run underneath the car and you will easily be able to see where it connects to the suspension. When my front right sway bar end link broke it looked like the spring had broken, when that wasn't the case. But, since the car was sitting a while it may very well be just a blown strut.

ok so i got a set of used struts from a local guy today i pulld them my self and they seemed ok
i pulled both
well i put them on my car a few hrs later and well i wasnt happy
the car still sits lower on the driver side but the car bounces on bith sides instead of one
could it be that i have a 205/60/15 on the driver side and a 195/60.15 on the passenger side??
also the car is alittle bouncey too butt i can live with it till i save up for new kyb's and tien springs later on, and when i go threw a turn my pass tire vibrates like crazy when i step on it threw a turn could that be that i dont have a lsd and im doin a one wheel wonder?
im on stock wheels right now and my tires have very little tread on them as well if that helps

Those tires still have the same diameter. I dont see that being a problem. Did you check the sway bar? Or maybe it's your chassis is bent. One time Biggamehit's strut tower came off.

You have one bad strut. Replace them in pairs or the entire car. But in the context you are using it has one"t". Butt is your backside as in "I sit on my butt all day" or "that girl is butt ugly". Sorry, couldn't help myself to not correct that
Bad springs are super rare and are generally noticed by sag, never bounce

ok well i bee lookin and doin alot of reading
im lookin at the GR2s butt there not adjustable and my question on theses are " are they worth it if i get lowering springs?"
im also been lookin at the AGXs these are adjustable but are they worth it?
im not lookin to drift the car or anything just a clean smooth ride cuz it will be a daily driver to work and school and back home till i get my bike finished up, butt once in awhile ill take the car to the track to do a 1/4 mile
not really lookin to do performace on the car ether well not now
whats ur opinions on these struts also im lookin at getting s-tech spring
would these make a good compo?
