Currently my 300zx tt has 130k with all original suspension. The front end gets pretty wiggly on uneven pavement and pulls depending on the road crown. I assume I need new shocks by now, but also would like to know what else to replace while I'm at it. I am on a budget so fancy expensive aftermarket suspension is not a feasable option.
Thanks for your advice.

My car has 92k. When I need my next set of tires, I'm going to install adjustable front upper control arms to get a more neutral camber setting for the freeway miles, and I can dial the camber back in for the track. I'll need new shocks, so I'll go with some upgraded ones, but not fully adjustable, unless I can find a good deal. I'm planning on some shorter springs, maybe 3/4" only, because I live up a nasty rocky dirt road. All of my suspension/steering bushings appear to be in good shape for the next set of tires so I'll leave them alone.

I'll be doing the above, putting on new tires on aftermarket wheels (I like the OZ Galileo III and the SSR GT3's @ tire rack) and getting a full alignment at the same time.

If you sense some looseness or wandering in your steering wheel as you drive, and everything else is o.k., it's usually your steering rack bushings.

 

At 130k miles, your shocks and springs are pretty much history. May not be a bad idea to replace the tension rods and control arm bushings. I'm upgrading to adjustable tension rods. I replaced my factory tension rods a couple of years ago, so they're still in pretty good shape. If you decide you want to do that, let me know. I'll get my old ones to you for cheap. I think they run $70 each. Adjustable tension rods run $150-$200, FYI.

 

Yeah the tension rod bushings are probably shot. I had the same pulling around on uneven roads and when I upgraded my Rods to adjustable ones, this stopped. The Shock and spring replacement made it even better. Check out SPLparts or something like that, they are pretty reasonable.

 

91, if noone else wants them, i might take them, unless my dad will let me get adjustable ones. my steering wheel pulls to either side sometimes when i go over a bump or like just to whatever side i am steering to. my steering is pretty loose right now

 

and 100
i just wanted to do that
thats for you emo
oh and by the way...my dad said that i dont need the tension rods. whatever
