LS Suspension

[HOU02LSV8]

K guys, Again I am not the most techno savvy guy on this forum. But lets say that I feel as though the 02 LS needs new suspension because the ride sounds and feels so bad. Is there a kit I can buy that replaces all the necessary parts to get the ride back in my ride? I have an 02 V8, in case you need that....

There's no kit. You need to figure out what you want to replace and replace it. Most of us have done the sway bar bushings and ball joints on the front. Depending on how many miles you have on your car, it may be time to replace your shocks. So you need to have your car inspected to see if any thing in your suspension is worn out and go from there. Another thing that you didn't mention was are you running factory wheels or aftermarket? That's play an important factor in your ride quality too.

My '02 ride is noisy too. Has the same quality and loudness as a bad wheel bearing. Wheel bearings are OK though. I strongly suspect that the front coil spring isolators, after 125K, have compressed and lost their ability to isolate tire/bearing rotational noise. Shocks are good but will replace them along with mounts/isolators some day when I am sober.
