Installed McGaughy's 2/3 and have issues

[NORCAL SS]

I'm experiencing the same issue with my ABS kicking in while turning and applying the brakes. I have an 08 escalade with BT 3-4 rear lowering kit and some 2" lowering spindle with GM 07 marking on it.(supposed to be BT). I'm curious on what's causing this issue? I have 26 inch wheels on for over 2 years and never had this problem until the vehicle was lowered.(last week)

Did dealer flash it yet?

The customer had the mcgaughys spindles they did the flash and then still had it after. I then put the belltechs on and now nothing.

Modded: It's black

Ok then you have the McG ones Jay. The BT ones are greyish silver.
Looks like McG has another one on their hands. They need to get it resolved because it seems more common in their spindles.

I bought the spindles from a FORUM MEMBER. I knew something was wrong when i received the package because it looked different from what was advertised. I should have gone with a more reliable SELLER (TONY)when purchasing the whole kit. The FORUM MEMBER probably needed the money BADLY, to replaced his worn out tires from an allignment problem... BUT thats another thread. Thanks for the info MODDED.

Jay if you have the box the kit came in can you take a picture for me?
I think you are talking about Sweet-N-Low that sold it to you because I remember him having an alignment issue.
If it is him you just may have the Belltech kit and not the McGaughy one because I don't think he would sell the McG kit as a Belltech.

It's a USPS PRIORITY MAIL BOX. I will not be suprised if it was the McG spindles because the whole transaction was not really pleasant. I'm over it and i will probably change the whole kit out when i get back stateside.

Ok. Check out this link. Is McGaughy stamped right behind the rotor?

[JSCALADE]

nope, it doesnt have the McG stamp neither does it look like the BELLTECH spindles you will commonly see on forums and websites.

 

[Modded]

Here is the Belltech spindle. I am guessing its this because if not that would mean he sold you a Ground Force spindle or a complete knock off spindle.

The spindles construction is similar to the first one but with GM 07 stamp instead of the common BELLTECH stamp.

I hope to God its not these SpringTech ones:

Looks like we have a WINNER. That's definitely it...

WOW Sweet-N-Low that's just plain messed up to market those rubbish kits as Belltech.
If I were Jay I would file a PayPal claim and get my money back. And to think that I referred a bud of mine to buy this kit!
Jay nobody uses those low end drop equipment on this forum for a reason!

This deserves a BAN hammer if Sweet-N-Low does not correct it.
Also Jay if the payment you sent him specified a Belltech kit as what you were supposed to get go ahead and start gathering pics of what the Belltech spindle looks like and the SpringTech spindle you ended up getting looks like. You will need these in the claim process and as long as you follow up you will get your $$$ back.

MODDED:I appreciate your assistance...

what ever came of this?

 

[JSCALADE]

Will order a new (REAL SET) of BELLTECH spindles next week. The right front tire cannot be alligned. The vehicle was taken to 3 shops for allignment. (1 cadillac dealer, GM dealer and 1 custom tire shop) . All i can say go with the most reputable seller. I tried to save a little money going with a BOOTLEG seller but when everything is done it will probably cost me twice as much.(over 2 Gs) smh

i sure would love to know since this is the closest i am to figuring it out. im on factory 20s w mcg spindles and coil out back, TC flashing during sharp turns abs brake pulses makes noise.

I still haven't figured mine out yet, it been sitting in my shop getting a stereo for 6 months... Its still very annoying and obviously its an MCG issue but they won't admit it...

 

[Modded]

Jerry and Evan, it is not a Mcgaughy issue. It's an altered suspension issue.
There are people on here with the Belltech kit that have the exact same problem. It does seem to happen a bit more with the McG kit though.
I posted how to get the issue fixed.
All it takes is a trip to the dealership to tell them you want to get TSB 4322 performed on the car.

 

[baddohtentahoe]

modded, thanks for the reply. i took a trip to the dealer earlier today and had them search for that bulletin i gave them the exact numbers u posted and they found nothing. do you have the full tsb, did yours ever get fixed? i think it has to do with only 4wd vehicles still dont know yet. also i had asked them to print me up the 3 tsbs i mentioned last post and they only found two and neither of them helped me out. please be my savior! lol HOW DO YOU FIX THIS. now im wondering , when i do fix it, will it become an issue when i go back up to stock height ?? ugh. wish i just saved my money and called it a day with just the 24s.
