so i waz thinking about getting a lude...

[__s14__]

but ive heard about lots of suspention problems, and dont want to spend an ass load of mony into fixing them so i guess my question is how many of you have had these reoccuring suspention problems and is it worth buying one
thanks in advance, nate

I've never heard of any suspension problems. What generation were you thinking about buying?

[O'Dailigh]

The suspension problems on a lude deal with those that have been lowered. There are a few threads on ludes that deal with suspension and all of the issues that come up. Non lowered ones seem to have a solid record, but the older it is the more worn out the part.

Its kind'a a stats thing.
10 out of 10 people will eventually die, and 10 out of 8 parts will eventually fail. Hm, never was good at fractions.

I've NEVER heard of any suspension problems on stcok suspension Ludes. If you get $10 eBay coilovers, what do you expect? I moderate 2 Prelude fourms and am VERY active on about 4 more and I've never read any problems from stock suspension. If you have lowering springs and stock shocks, you'll have problems but otherwise, the Prelude was made to be a well handling car. Only thing to look out for on Ludes is rust around the rear 1/4 panels and on 92-96 Ludes, the sunroof tends to rust underneath. PM me and I'll get you a pic of mine.

My 4th gen lude is lowered 1 1/2" on Koni Yellow shocks and I've had no problems. Well, a slight problem with negative camber on the front end, but not it's too bad, and a camber kit will fix it perfectly. It's one of the best handling cars I've driven.
