Ball Joint / Suspension

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....

Ball Joint / Suspension

Post by KennethO »

Does anyone know where to purchase or what product number the Poly ball joint boot is? Energy Suspension doesn't list them. I have seen them on some berettas, like the one in the brake upgrade post. Included in the control arm set? :unknown:

How do you tell what suspension you have? Sway bar size only? My front bar mounts to control arm, not strut. Whats the best for my set up below? And idt I have a rear one. I'll check again when I can.

I'm about to purchase new eibach and kyb set up, I am in need of replacements. Do I purchase with or without the tab? How do you tell if you have "sports suspension"? If it turns out I have basic suspension, which I think I do, can I purchase with tab and upgrade sway bar later? Or will stuff knock and touch?

95' Beretta Base - 4speed Auto - 3100, 3400 later down the road.

The poly dust boots are universal. Just find the one that is closest.

All 3100 cars have the swaybar that bolts to the control arm, not the strut. Measuring the swaybar is the best way to tell what suspension you have. And if you upgrade swaybars later, the only aftermarket one that is available is the 30mm Addco that bolts to the control arm, not the strut.
