Lowered Car BUT......... Help Need

[shaunf79]

I lowered my car 3 months ago. I now have a pull to the left when i brake and accelerate; also there is a squeak (coming from drivers side) whenever I turn left or go over a bump. I "friend" installed the parts.

KYB g2 shocks
Megan racing springs
T.A.S. upper control arms /w adjustable ball joint
intrax 25mm sway bar
Energy suspension: shocks, strut bars, sway bar and control arms

Another "friend" told me my spring is not indexed correctly. While another has said its the upper bearing plate. Someone else said it could also be the shock itself. Its an on going problem thats starting to annoy me greatly.

Hopefully whoever worked on it put everything together properly.
You did get an alignment after lowering, right? And a computerized printout of the before and after? If you did and things were good for a while...Unless you got in an accident or moved a tie rod, something came loose or broke.

indexing the spring is easy.

you'll have to pull it apart but you have to make sure the bottom part of the spring sits in the seat, and the top mount lines up in the wholes, thats all indexing the spring is, you'll have to make a line somehow to match u p the two things.


our front mounts don't have bearings in them i dont think, but i could be wrong. we have upper control arms that pivot, and not the struts.

my car is doing the same thing on the passenger side, but it isn't lowered.

Itcould be a camber problem or maybe the strut's bolts are tighter on one side than the other. because if you have negative camber on just one tire your car can pull to the side same with toe

Take a look at your balljoints. They tend tosquek when they aregoing bad.
