Re: 95 Eagle Talon Rear Suspension Need Help ASAP

So, you mean while driving your cars starts going to the left ? What do you mean when its raining you car fishtails a lot, on a straight or when you make a turn it fishtails ? I drive a 96 Eclipse and I am absolutly sure my car does none of these. And on rain when I drive around 100mph it doesnt fishtail, if I try to turn with that speed well then it might.

as long as the road is smoth it drives fine but as soon as i hit a ruff spot in the road the car fishtales a little to the passanger side and also feels like it dosent have shocks and when it rains it just dose it worse and the fishtailing is eating my tires up with in 2 weeks i buy used tries so it wont cost as much i also have another 95 talon auto only 79k miles on it and it drives fine i look at the rear and every thing looks the same as mile 150,000 mile car thats given me such hell i also have a wrecked talon that did the same thing it staterd around 140,000 when i noticed it and i put new shoxs on it and still did the same and only way it would do it when makeing a turn is i hit a ruff spot and also when it dose it every thing in my trunk kinda bounes like my hydro jack it clangs loud.

Re: 95 Eagle Talon Rear Suspension Need Help ASAP

wow your car is messed up really bad. I would check if it was in an accident and try do alignment maybe. Take it to a shop for free inspection and let them tell you what THEY think is the problem. Then maybe it would be a little clear. Come back and post results and I can bet you some one might help you.

i dont think it was from a wreck cause i had 2 cars do it plus one i test drove did it and the odds of 3 cars in 3 wrecks doing the same thing would be 1 in a million and the problem with getting it checked out people here charge money to do it and they would have to dirve the car cause i had it looked at on the rack and they couldnt find nothing worng on the rear end then and they charged me like $40 to tell me i had a bad wheel barring on the front in which i replaced.

Periods are a beautiful thing. Think of periods as a sexy women. Put them in, and it makes everything easier, more relaxing. Please give them a try.

If you need to borrow some, please copy-and-paste these into your posts/replies:

.................................................. ................

That should be enough for now. Let me know if you need more. I might charge for them later.

Re: 95 Eagle Talon Rear Suspension Need Help ASAP

LOL You guys give people so much shit over that.

Is the car lowered?
Have you checked all your bushings over "GOOD"

The upper control arm bushing when broken will make your car swing out like that. Because the arm wobbles on the bolt. Sometimes you have to look at the back of the bushing.

Re: 95 Eagle Talon Rear Suspension Need Help ASAP

Don't waist money on the Whole control arm.. Get the prothane bushings and replace all of your bushings for under 250.00. I think for the control arm at dealer it's 100.00 something FOR 1

bottom of page http://www.roadraceengineering.com/eclsuspension.htm get the FULL KIT

Yeah, that's an automatic NO for helping you now anyways. I think I can help out quite a bit with everyone here. I try hard to do it. If you're going to make comments like that, don't even bother posting, because the more you refuse to punctuate, the less people are going to want to help you.

lol only help u do is by leaveing rude and useless comments and about Bringing your car to mitsubishi period thats a hell na cause its a talon and they would charge $60 a hour to figer out what it is and spend at least 1 hour and 40 mins goofing off and 20 mins finding out the problem

and i can get both sides on the whole rear end for $200 at a salavge yard which is less then $250 so i think i will do that cause the odds of a 99 eclipse doing this should be rare but knowing my luck i will probly get stuck with a crapy one just like mine


the pics are great but the busings along $250 thats extremely high for just rubber and a metal peice and wonder ho u get the old bushings out
i look at my bushings there a little crack but has not toor apart or nothing but what i will get when i by from a salavge yard is 2 trailing arms 2 lower arms 2 toe controls 2 upper control arms all for 200 maybe less cause last time when i got the quote that include the knuckles which i alrdy bought for $100
