I put in a new pair of Bilsteins this past Winter and my front suspension has absolutely no bounce at all? I've tried adjusting my front ride height - thinking I was bottoming out the strut - and it makes minimal difference? Is this normal? I also installed a new sway bar but this should not affect it? I could not imagine how it would feel with larger T-bars? It is much stiffer than my 911 with upgraded 21mm T-bars?

aaahhh, so your question was not totally informative.
The a-arms, not attached to the struts...should swing freely, with little to no resistance... So, if you put on the poly bushings and did not custom clearance them, thenyes, they will create alot of resistance... There are several procedures.. Once you get them off, you will use a dremel and a sander set up on a drill press to hone out the insides so they fit perfectly on the end of the a-arm. Same goes for fitting them into the chassis...the outsides need to be sanded to fit. After those are done, you need to dremel in several grease paths in a figure 8 pattern and install a zirk fitting so you can grease these every year. Search here and on pelican parts site for detailed instructions on how to install these bushings. Rich |
