What do your posts have to do with this thread?

I couldn't tell if you were asking a question or trying to explain why he has a wobble.

Okay. Now I understand. You are trying to say that you think using a polyurethane coil spacer could be the source of the wobble. Right?

No. That isn't it. Springs don't cause wobbles while braking.


By the way, capitalization and punctuation are worth all the time they take to place. It lessens the chance of being perceived as stupid.

Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

Punctuation is the difference between knowing your shit, and knowing you're shit.

5 more seconds to not look like a high school dropout, and allow readers to comprehend what you are trying to say.

Maybe he knows he is shit and that's why he helped his uncle jack off the horse.

Kindly back on topic now that the elementary level grammar issue has been addressed- resetting the resting position of the arms is something that should be done any time the suspension is changed but people rarely do it.

Without proper grammar and punctuation, who knows?


You are correct. Most inexperienced installers--and some experienced ones--don't realize the importance of having rubber bushings pinched between the control arm and trackbar brackets in a neutral position. This results in premature bushing wear, shimmies/wobbles, etc.

Wow that was some feedback. I think my problem is solved now. What I did was added adjustable lower control arms and loosened and retightened all bushings. So far no problem. I don't know if it was the bushings or if it was the control arms but problem solved so far.
Thanks for the help and the debate, lol. I hope I used proper penmanship. Anyhow thx again guys!

So, 2 years ago I did a 2.5 coil lift. I never loosened anything and re-torqued like suggested. Has it been too long to correct this in my case? I have had a slight wobble when braking like the op said, but have foolishly put it off.
