question about the "damping mount" rubber on 97 Accord
I have a 97 accord with about 140K miles.
I noticed under the hood the deterioration of rubber o-rings on the damping mount of the suspension. check out the pics http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/techma...37.jpg&.src=ph http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/techma...bc.jpg&.src=ph The drivers side looks fine, but it hard as a rock The passangers side is peeling and fraying, yet quite soft. I plan on replacing both, just to be safe. I also plan to do this on my own rather than spend $45 at the honda dealer for an hour of labor. The only thing I worry about is that when I undo the nut, that a bunch of suspension parts are going to just fall out underneath. From the service manual I have, it doesnt appear that this would happen. Perhaps someone out there has a better idea. Also: Could the deterioration of these rubber rings on dampening mount cause suspension noises and degrading ride quality? I have been getting suspension noise every time I go over a speed bump. Thanks |
