suspension parts failing too fast

[patton98]

i have a 95 rs when i got it the car had a nice set of coilovers but the previous owner cut the springs so needless to say they were junk...i have replaced so far all 4 struts with springs...left and right outter tie rod end the curved lower control arms on both sides and hub bearing on drivers side i installed an ingalls camber kit and had an alignment done....well week after the alignment was done i noticed a shake in the steering wheel so i shook down the front end and found the right side outter tie rod and the left side curved control arm ball joint was loose this will be the third time replacing the control arm and the second tie rod what could b making these parts fail so fast...im not hot rodding it by ne means just back n forth to work

That is what happens when you lower a car to much, it just kills your suspension.

I would say do whatever you can to get it back to within +/- 1 inch and replace everything that has been worn out due to the previous owners stupidity.

its on stock springs not lowered at all

Do you drive on rough, or dusty roads that may be causing the suspension to wear out faster?

I've seen 1Gs and 2Gs drive thousands of miles on stock struts and all other stock suspension components with 2" lowering springs with no problems ever. There is something else wrong.

It could just be that the car is now 16 years old and it was time for those parts to go.

id would first find out if the car has ever been in an accident, if so i would get under the car and look for where the damage was, and have it repaired if welds have broke or a bend/kink is not supposed to be there. sometimes damage will settle back sightly if the area was not properly stress relieved. and how are you getting your alignment done after you replaced the parts? the old way with tapes levels (they still work but not accuruate enough for our cars and you ususally dont have a record saying its all straight) or a new alignment rack.. do you have the print out of your 4 wheel alignment showing that everything is in spec and is straight.

i do drive on country roads...all the parts ive replaced have been new parts except the Lf spindle the ca doesnt appear to have ne prior damage or ne thing and i was literally standing there watchn the tech. do the alignment and he showed me everything he was doin and everything was in spec except the RR toe because the adjuster broke...and now i have a weird noise while decelerating sounds like a wheel bearing but its not...only haopoens while slowing down and in gear...it goes away when i step on the gas or when the car is in neutral???
