Anyone with lowering springs..........did you change out your sway bar end links!?!

^^^there is a guy on CGP who found some longer ball joints for the control arms to put them back in the correct geometry as well.

never worked out for him either

So where did you get this kit at or did you just use washers and shorter bolts ?

The power steering rack would need to be realigned as well, and no one makes mention of the rear suspension.

no it wouldnt shorter endlinks have nothing to do with the rack and actual toe/camber

Yupp that's my thread. I got shorter end links and never looked back

How would the springs effect the steering when it's attached to the cradle? Like the tie rod ends?

it wouldnt at all that picture just showed the ite rod end loose because i was doing other work at the same time

I wasn't referring to your pictures but to the other reply

So probably a stupid question but would this help on a non lowered gp? Im up in the north so lowering is not recommended when you need to get around in the snow.

Nope, doing this corrects the suspension geometry after lowering to get it back into/close to stock as far as where everything is.

I drove the whole winter with a lowered car. Get studded or snow tires and you're ganna be laughing all while plowing

Not the entire suspension, only the sway bar.

Ideally you'd use drop spindles. That way you'd have proper balljoint/control arm, sway bar, and tie rod angles.

Mmm, this is quite interesting. In a weeks time I'll post back as to my experience with this as I had to pull my struts anyways so its all open down there and seems simple enough.

I figured as much. Just thought I would make sure. I'm installing my gmpp rear sway bar tomorrow. Already have a 1.3 inch solid.in the front
