2. Re: Swaying Sprite (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2005 14:13:31 -0700 (PDT); A swaying Spridget is an oddity unto itself IMHO. Shocks (mainly) keep a car from oscillating up and down; simplistic as that is. If your car doesn t seem to bounce after hitting a hole or bump,; /html/spridgets/2005-04/msg00729.html (7,888 bytes)

6. Re: Swaying Sprite (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2005 18:21:51 EDT; On that car the 'elbow' shocks are also the upper control arms. When they wear out it's like a ball joint worn out on an upper control arm on a modern car.; /html/spridgets/2005-04/msg00733.html (7,006 bytes)
7. Re: Swaying Sprite (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2005 18:36:12 EDT; If you grab the top of one of the wheels and pull-push sideways there should be very little if any movement.

Rolling into a turn causes load transfer and if the shocks aren't up to it.....well...... Otherwise....how many miles on the front end in general???

10. Re: Swaying Sprite (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2005 20:33:16 -0400; I bought a MkIII Sprite last year and was amazed with how bad it was once I got it out on a dry day. It did what you are describing, and new shocks cured its ills. I bought extra firm for good measur; /html/spridgets/2005-04/msg00756.html (7,931 bytes)
