Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 328 Suspension

No need to worry here
What fails is the shock bushings
The little round black things in the shocks and you need to check the rubber 
bushings in the suspension as well
All of this is replaceable
what you don't want to see is the shock bushings wear thru to the shock it self
Then you need new shocks

How you do the check is jack the car up
You should hear no noise at all from the suspension
Any creeking noise spells trouble

With a 328 you will need to most likely need bushings all around

The suspension is the key to a mid engine car handling

Hey boys,

Just another quick question about my 328 search.

Since these cars are over 20 years old now is the suspension something that 
needs to be of concern when buying. Do they tend to sag or need to be replaced 
after so many years? How can I tell if the suspension is tired or saging?

 

Thanks a bunch guys!
