my car rode rough and cornered like... well less than i expected after the first suspension upgrade. every expansion joint a pita, lliterally. i thought it was just the koni and mild rear spring. specificly AFTER the big fancy alignment and corner balance at a "race shop" in bellevue. well shit. it came back low all right. the adjusters are tuned down to the point where is 1/2 of 1 complete thread showing on the top portion.
b mentioned some time ago about a members car riding on the rubber snubbers/cushions on the fronts. well mine were too. to the point where the bottom ring was collasped, as in partialy shoved up inside of the next ring. so my konis were not working at all, the only, "work", i had going on was the COMPRESSION of the snubbers inside of each other. now it gets even better, or worse depending what side of the computer screen you are on. i purchased some mono balls from triad when i was doing the front end. there is supposed to be a sleeve type affair that slides up from the bottom securing the strut rod in the monoball. well that f-er wasn't there either. i only started with the drivers side. no point in putting back together WITH OUT ALL OF THE DAMN PARTS!! i didn't drop or misplace it. the fool didn't not put it in. well i know i'm going to have raise the front end a bit. how could it have truly been balanced whe the car was sitting on the hard on the front. i've just about had enough. AARRGGHH!!! another alingment is in the works. f me to tears. i'm going to break down and have a becks kevin |
