So, I replaced the shocks and springs on my car. New 140lb springs and Bilsteins. The old springs were stockers and seemed pretty light as well as worn out. The car would sit a little bit lower on the back left side from time to time.... figured it was the springs and shocks, since it would sometimes sit level across the rear.
Well, it's still doing it. Doesn't appear to be so bad, but it's there. I guess now I'm thinking bushing? Next worse case, ovaling of the suspension ear? Followed by full on crack? I guess I'm just looking to confirm my next target. Am I on the right track or am I chasing my tail? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) -Mike |

disconnect all swaybars, remove everything from the trunks, then measure the height on both *front* corners.
I usually use the head of the large bottom bolt on the crossmember on each side as reference. If the height in the front is off left/right, the rear will be off as well ... There's a reason why people cornerbalance their cars ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy |
