Car Rocking

[Kroozin]

Hey fellas,

Just recently I have fitted some new lovell superlows paired up with a 30mm front sway bar and a 22mm rear.

A 27mm sway bar in the front would be better than a 30mm just there was a mixup when I bought them off fleabay.

I had the sway bars fitted about a month earlier than the new springs as I have been working on the suspension progressively.

With the new springs the cars ride feels unchanged, as in it is just as smooth as it was before.

Its sitting just under 345mm at the front and rear going to the outer edge of the wheel arch giving a nice level stance.

The problem is on long 4th gear corners on a smooth piece of road under acceleration the car tends to feel like its rocking kinda left to right or even diagonally if that makes sense. Why?

Also the car tends to have that wallowing feel over progressive bumps in the rd sometimes.

Is this all due to the shocks needing to be replaced aswell?

Its not really a big deal, through the lower gear corners the car feels pretty tight, other than the 7/10's feeling sometimes due to understeer when pushing thru 3rd usually bandaided with throttle control.

Thanks in advance for your input

Definitely shocks mate, certain bushes (control arms etc) can also create this, but if it was the bushes it would be a faster "wobble" rather than a "sway"

Anything will be better than your tired old shocks so you can get a set from $450, but you would benefit from stepping up to something like a Koni or Bilstein combo for $1100 - you get what you pay for!

ha ha nice new springy springs and tired old dampers.

I think the springs are telling you how bad the dampers are. Like almost non existent.
