Need New suspension? Maybe?

Want some new struts? What brand springs to buy? How much camber to run? What brake pads? What's the best setup for your situation....

Need New suspension? Maybe?

Post by berettaboy »

Holy Pete, idk if it was just the roads but how smooth can a Beretta ride? Cuz mine feels like its gonna shake apart at every little bump. Or at speed on the highway I'm afraid I'm gonna bust something its terrible. I'm wondering what needs replaced or added.

I got a strut tower brace from Pauly at bfest. Now I'm trying to get info on the rear sway bars? The Z's came with one? And can I add one to my car ? And what's the deal with the internal swaybar?

Any info would be appreciated :)

Thanks, kyle

Ball joints, lower control arm bushings, tie rod ends, broken sway bar links up front. Check into those things first.

Most Beretta's except for some years base models had a bolt in internal sway bar and 95-96's were welded in. ONLY the Z51 equipped 1988 GT's and GTU's had the external rear sway bar!

So I might have an internal even tho I have a 96 base? Or was it just Z's with the internal? And can I add an external rear sway bar?

What he said... And yes, an Addco rear with custom spacers to make it fit properly. I don't know if anyone has made a 88 Z51 external bar work or a 95/96 car with the different rear axle.
