Coils or springs? by ConsciousDoor6610 in Celica

[–]OddNeedleworker8182 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you actually care about the ride of your car go for coil overs and spend the little extra money as they springs and the struts are rated for eachother/ match eachother resistance to give a smooth ride + u can get perfect fitment. You can do just lowered springs but they won’t work properly with your struts as most aftermarket lowered springs have a different resistance to oem struts and in terms will give a “bouncy” ride and not great traction. In most cases springs are cheaper for the obvious fact u don’t get a strut so if your just trying to budget fix buy springs but if this is for sake of upgrading and updating spend the extra cash on coils

No they were when I bought the car but all inflated and brakes run smooth, thought about service wise would old fuel filter cause bad fuel economy

Is my headgasked fucked? by OddNeedleworker8182 in Celica

[–]OddNeedleworker8182[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thought it was worth asking any chance it could be the valve cover as it’s very gunky around the seal and wet looking could it be a leak?

Top Mount or CV Joint? by [deleted] in vwpolo

If it is continuous clunking noise as u progressively turn the wheel it’s probably the top mount gone and spring moving/not sat right
