Car has very firm ride in the front,I have Bilstein inserts in Boge struts but the ride is really bone jarring to the point that I have disconnected the swaybar to try and soften it up a little which it did.
Previous to unhooking the swaybar I couldn't even bounce the front of the car with my own weight,needless to say the car isn't that nice to drive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . Is there an easy way to check the size,are they marked on the ends? I strongly suspect they are too larger diameter or not setup right (indexing ?) maybe,any helpful suggestions guys,thanks in advance. PS front is only lowered a small amount. |
