Okay so I have a 92 Rs with 126k miles on it.

Last weekend I had the poor car stuffed with four people and stuff in the trunk and maybe its just me but now my car seems like whenever I'm on the freeway and it's not perfectly smooth, ie. there are small little dips in the pavement it feels like my suspension is traveling a lot further, it just seems so much bouncier.

I have the 16 inch wheels with GoodYear Eagle RSA 225 65 16's on them and they have not been balanced in a long time and I've also filled them with almost 40 psi. What I am wondering is if the P.S.I. as well as not having the wheels balanced could cause this or if it's all in my mind.

I have had new shocks put in the rear of the car. They are monroe gasmatics or similar lol.

Cliff notes:

Car bounces too much at freeway speeds also rides rougher than normal on roads.
What PSI should I be running?
And what difference do balancing the tires make?

 

overloaded and or crappy shocks

 

Keepin your tires rotated and balanced will keep your tires tread surface smooth and even (unless you have alignment issues). You want to rotate and balance your tires every 6-8k miles to keep them from cupping, wearing unevenly, etc. 40 psi is ok..its not too much but most likely more than your tires allow for which is most likely only 35psi. Our cars should run anywhere from 30-35 psi for street driving nothing more nothing less.

Good luck

 

How would I be able to rotate the tires since we can't rotate the wheels and do it normally.

Also is there any difference when I get the weights put on the inside of the wheel versus outside. Is there a differnece in the balance?

I shouldn't run more than 35 psi cold then?

 

Well it helps to know someone in the tire business but youd have to swap the tires. Most places will charge you a good deal for that. You could probably bark at Discount tire enough and they would do it for you for free if you purchased the tires from them.

A double static balance is where the wheel weights are hammered on the inside and outside lip of the wheel...this is the best balance for longevity and consistency. The only other balance i would go with/ask for would be a single tape weight balance on the inside of the wheel. If done right, both balances will do well and last for a good while ensuring even wear on your tires.

nope, no more than 35. Its unnecessary.
