Default lowered my 87 2day, questions

okay heres the deal, i put some eibach pro coilovers on the back, which lowered it a bit, gonna adjust them more 2morrow, but i also lowered the front of the car via my torsion adjustment nut. now heres the question, after lowering it, i took it out for a drive, but now it seems REAL shakey when i take off, it also seems a bit loose, did i possibly screw up an adjustment somewhere? or is this normal for torsion suspensions? ill post pics 2morrow

how low did you go in the front? They don't have a lot of suspension travel to begin with.

did you get it aligned? did you install longer bolts? did you turn the torsion bar in the tube?

alignment is key, toe changes alot when you lower the front.

bad idea, look up how to turn the torsion bars, you've backed the bolt off too far for safety.

also check the condition of your bushings and ball joints. they may be worn out, now they are just working in a different area causing more noise.
