[Shotimes] Struts replaced. Wow!!

[kerbyh@netzero.net]

OK folks, looks like I have to play George Fourchy here!

Repeat after me, the struts do not hold up the car.  Let's repeat.  The struts do not hold up the car.  The springs hold up the car.  The struts dampen the movement of the springs, keeping it form looking like a basketball or pogo stick.  I had two  rear KONIs with no gas and most of the oil out of them, the car did not sag, but it did look like a pogo stick.  If your car is sagging, you need to replace the springs.

George mode is now off. :-)

My 95mtx with 74,000 miles rear struts were sagging so bad that if I put two
people in the back the suspension was fully compressed and when I hit a bump
the car would go up in the rear!  I replaced everything.  Intrax, koni, tpr,
etc, etc.  Now she handles like a gocart(and rides like one too).

Which struts were sagging before replacement?
Did you replace springs to?
My 95MTX with 78,000 is sagging in the rear, making
the front look higher.
