recently purchased a 96 GS-R 4 door with 60K miles. all factory. Getting some clanking over bumps at the wheels. I figure the struts might need replaced. I'm not very knowledgable on suspensions. Please tell me...does my car have struts, springs, or both? Are the rear wheels set up differently than the front? Thanks.

 

:eek3: yes your car has both springs and struts front are rear are basically the same set up

 

you have struts and springs on all four corners. however, the integra has a double wishbone suspension, therefore is setup differently front and back:

rear strut/spring assembly has the strut bolting to the lower control arms.
front strut/spring assembly has the strut connected to a fork that connects to the lower control arm.

you cannot interchange the front and rear components.
