After some research this civic 2008 suspension problem has to be serious neglect on Honda's part. There is no way that should happen unless the suspension system is underrated or it is not rated high enough to cover the different types of conditions as it should. Throw in the fact that this is a repeat of 2006 and 2007 is just an astounding revelation to me about Honda. Trying to mask it away by blaming the car owners and using jerryrigged engineering fixes is even worse seeing they don't even work. I think I'm gonna just ship this civic back to Tokyo and tell them to sell their offspec cars to Mexico and the Middle East where they had been selling them. I am just beside myself to see the trust I had in this company just kind of tossed in the crapper. maybe you guys will change your name to Honudai
