i put new front struts in my 95 and i feel the difference, i mean if you are on your original struts ,it might be a good idea to swap them out for new ones. push down on your front fender carefully and see if it bounces like its suppose to.if its very stiff and doesnt give then its time for new struts.

That's the opposite of the truth.

If it bounces more than once, you need new shocks.

If it does not bounce, your shocks are fine.

They're interchangable. The TL springs are slightly softer. I recommend the GS front anti sway bar to go with them.

I dont know anything about the TLs, but many of the parts are interchangeable. Ken knows more about 1g TLs than anyone else on here. So if you want a softer ride, i would say take his advice.

and more than likely, your shocks are going bad, i would suggest getting either OEM or koni shocks, with TL springs.

cool THANKS BROO pick up the springs and GS front anti sway bar at juck yard thanks

Good luck on that.

The TL does have quite a few parts that are interchangable. Engine (Type I) and automatic transmission (same as the 1st gen RL) will fit on the Legend. Front suspension is similar (a bit softer).

Thats it as far as I know. The rear suspension is definitely different on the TL.

thats somewhat true, if it bounces too much its not good, and if it doesnt give at all all the gas charge is dgone and it is very stiff, a shock/strut is suppose to give when you hit a pot whole, if your saying your shockes done give at all then they are blown pal.
