b14 suspension... dammit
ok well about a month ago i replaced my struts/shocks on my 96 200sx se. before i did it was really handling like crap, major body roll. it was also very loud over bumps. now after i changed them it was fine for a lil bit. but now im getting major body roll again, and the front struts seem blown, its really harsh over bumps. i didnt have a torque wrench when i installed them so i was wondering if over torquing anything could cause this, or possibly under torquing. if so what parts should i check?
thanks

i riding with tokico strut/shocks and stock springs. i had intrax springs on before. but i hated the way it road. looked good but the ride was sh*tty.
now i have a great ride and a bit stiffer suspension, but whats looks when you have a sh*tty ride. only thing is the fender gap is there again.

This car was not meant for aggressive driving in it's OEM form.
It's a grocery getter, the sooner you realize it...the better.
Sorry if that sounds a bit harsh.

Is it the body roll that's bothering you, or do you feel the car actually losing traction when you turn?
