I own an all-original 5-spd '91 Acura Integra Coupe that recently went past 100,000 miles. I've been concered lately with some unstable handling and I'm wondering if bad shocks or something else with the suspension is the culprit.
For example, if I hit a bump on the road at speeds above 35mph, the car will 'float' to one side and I have to correct my steering. Another scarry situation is during hard braking the car will sway to the right and nosedive somewhat.
I've pushed down on each corner of the car to test the shocks and there is plenty of resistance and it bounces up only once. Having 100,000+ miles now, is it just time to replace the shocks/struts? What other critical parts of the
suspension need to be checked/replaced on an Integra with this much milage?
Finally, who manufactures shocks for Acura? I would be interested in
the aftermarket version if it is the same and would cost less than the dealer's. Thanks for any helpful advice.
