coil over conversion installed

[04blackout]

Do you have the rear LCA relocate brackets and the sway bar ends links to position sway bar right. yep All bolts tight front and rear? yessirHow are your shock towers holding up? theyre holding up great! just checked them yesterday morning, to make sure nothing weird was going on and all looks goodHave you got an alignment yet could have something to do with a high speed sway??? no alignment yet, still need to do my camber kit. i suppose that could be the culprit

I was afraid that you'd lost interest once you got the conversion done since we hadn't seen any updates from you. I'm glad your back with us.

nah, just been so busy with everything else... work, family, house, my other car, now the little one has strep, and the dog just blew out her ACL ($1200 repair bill)

Well since you have the panhard, Im not sure what would be causing sway in the rear. Even before i did the adj. lca and uca my tahoe did not sway. I would say ask Norcal - Tony and see what he thinks it may be.

Good to hear that Iregret has some miles on the new bushings. Need to go check out his thread.

qa1 adjustables and I didnt actually put a torque wrench on them, but I used a real short ratchet and only got them half ass tight, used nyloc nuts and a ton of lithium grease

 

[NORCAL SS]

30 ft lbs on endlinks

Also is it the double or single adjustable qa1

Just for grins I figure that I'd ask...Have you've considered the 6" drop springs that Tony has for sale?

Just wondering, Why do you ask that?

Yes I have, and I will be using them once they are available again... hoping those springs with the stud top front mount will let me go a little lower and not destroy my ride

Well guys, I *THINK* I found the problem that was causing my rear sway... looks like I need new rear sway bar end links

"WELL THERE'S YOUR PROBLEM" Seriously, glad you found that. That may not be *the* problem, but it's definitely something that you needed to find.

Just wondering, Why do you ask that?

Because they rock, that's why.

I want to have them ready to ship this week. I'll PM you in a few days once I hit another milestone.

I knew it had to do with the sway bar area. lol. Glad you found the problem and got a pm coming your way.

Just wondered, I love my 5305's, just wondered why the change.

 

[04blackout]

I seriously can't imagine how this happened. When I say they weren't very tight, I mean by my standards, and ive been known to twist bolt heads off with normal 1/2" drive ratchets, so its not like they were super loose... only thing I can think is when I swapped out bolt hardware to "get rid of the slop" maybe I forgot to tighten that one, but still crazy the whole bushing came out too. I found this when I got under the truck to change the oil tonight, and was like hmmmm something looks weird back there...

 

[Tahoewhat]

ha ha.. Something looks wierd. Yep....

 

[NORCAL SS]

that will happen when bolt comes out. The sleeve falls out and bushing just twists and twists and falls out

BTW my springs are in stock
