Recently I replaced my OEM struts as they were dead.........(with OEM struts).

The ride is a lot better now, but it still feels as if something is not right ..

Do springs wear out over time as well, should I replace them too?

BTW, I have 151,000 miles on the car now.

Thanks for any input on this!

Did you get an alignment yet? Springs really do not go out over time but i would get new ones to lower the car for that reason alone =P.

 

You should get an alignment. Springs usually dont need changing unless you have sagging. You may want to inspect/replace your bushings too.

 

No, I didn't get an alignments, the car drives straight and the tires are wearing out correctly too, handling is the same too.

The only problem I got, is that the car feels as if I never changed the struts when going over uneven or bumpy terrain............ as if the springs where no good........

But I didn't think springs wore out over time...

 

well when you change the strut you messed with the camber arms correct?

because to remove the front struts you would have to unbolt the front camber arms I believe.

So that probably affected alignment in some way.

 

did you replace oem struts with oem sport struts? maybe you had non sport which were soft then not knowing swapped out for sport struts.

you will need an alignment done. just cause your tires seem ok and car drives straight does not mean you toe and camber are at oem spec.
