I've heard this mentioned when lowering the front end, but I'm not real sure what it means. Do the torsion bar adjusting end caps have to be in the same spot (same number of splines) on each torsion bar? If not, and you start cranking on the adjuster till the ride height is even, would one bar be more pretensioned than the other? Does any of this make sense???
What's happening is that I lowered the front of the car, not a whole lot, and added the bump steer kit, but when I go over a bump, the front end feels light. It feels like I'm still getting some bump steer, or something. I'm not quite sure how best to describe it. I haven't had it aligned yet, so that could be part of the problem, but I want to make sure I have everything else set up right first, then get it aligned. Sorry for the long post, and thanks, |

Make sure your rack is bolted on tight as well. If anyone has been down there monkey'n around you might have issues with the two 17mm's holding the rack to the crossbar.
Could be the rack itself. I've got one if you need it. In the Classifieds |
