when i go over it the car Clunks HARD like something is gonna break!!!!

a friend told me i was hitting bumpstops




here is how i cuted it

koni w ground controls
AT NO GAP

spring is loaded with perch


this ALSO happend to my AGX.GC BUt i though AGx were bad ...
but now its doing the same thing....

should i shave more bumpstop off?
thanks

 

what are your spring rates?

how old are the bushigns on your car? original? what about the balljoints? what about your rear trailing arm bushing; is that intact?

 

did you get koni specific ground control sleeves?

and you didnt try to use the stock dust covers right?

clunking would not be an issue of bumpstops.

 

yah koni GC sleeves
no dust covers

 

then you probably have balljoint and/or steering rack issues.


so look under your car and tell us what you find. thanks.

 

lower ball joints looks good-<3k on em

what is steering rack issues?iut looks fine on the rack

 

get under the car, grab the inner tie rod and shake.

i dont care what it looks like.

you need to move the suspension.

does your car clunk while sitting still???

you should raise your car.

yah i am right now til i get some full coils

 

You could get higher springs rates for the GC's and extended top hats to improve the shock travel for the Koni's. Although, it would be much easier to just not lower your car down that far, but hey it's a personal preference and all.

 

ok
raised +8 spins up front
mini tuck to 2 loose fingers front and rear

omfg feels like a new car LOL

i cant belive i rode on bumpstops for like a full year
lol
it did its job up in the mts tho

haha
thx guys

gonna sell and pickup some buddyclub coils so i can slam even with shocktravel

 

whats the point of shock travel if other things, like upper control arms, are going to bottom out at such 'low' ride heights?

they havnt

 

they will.

 

I have the same problem.....HOWEVER, ride height is fine (I do not ride dumped)

Could be a steering rack problem, but I replaced ALL tie-rods (inner&outer) last month.

Could the rack be bad? It is a '93........


Bushings are ALL new.....I dunno, car feels "icky".

 

thx for tip but i just took off the konis
