well, i got the whole front suspension done (new energy suspension bushings, new stage 3 axles, suspension techniques sway bar, mopar hi rate springs, koni adjustables, hawk brake pads, baer slotted/drilled rotors) and all i can say, from the amount of lift at one corner, holy crap! i can lift under the control arm on one side, and lift until the normal ride height level, and the OTHER FRONT CORNER will lift to within 3 inches of it! i know the stock suspension didn't do that!

now for my question

after i got this all put together, i took it for a small test drive

i got halfway down my dad's driveway, about 100 yards, and about 10mph, and the car started jumping/jerking around

so i went back and double checked my wheel bolts and stuff, all bolts except the new hub bolts, as i have the cotter pin in it

went back out, and it did the same thing, so i thought, maybe it's just my dad's driveway is bumpy with my tight suspension, and got on the road

still did it

so my question is, what would cause it to be jumpy/bumpy like that? i'm thinking really bad alignment wouldn't be able to give me all these symptoms, as it did it on gravel and tar. maybe misaligned hubs?

 

Do the wheels spin freely? Do they wobble at all?

 

i'll check tomorrow
i didn't get a good chance to check it out on wednesday, as it was after midnight already

 

your going to need to get a alignment asap... all these new things compleatly change the projectory of everything in your suspention... dont drive it flatbed it...

 

how far is too far to drive it?
and what if i just drive REALLY slowly?
nearest alignment shop that i'd go to is about 20 mile drive

 

does it bounce on a flat surface???

 

do you mean while driving, or sitting?
while driving, it feels like a REALLY badly balanced tire, or flat spot or something similar to that (which it could possibly be, as i had the front end on jack stands for about 2 months, and the rear on the tires, without moving it at all)

 

u put those eyelids on?

 

its probally the tires that sat on the ground for so long

 

any way to clear that off without driving it? i did move it from original position, so it shouldn't be on those spots right now
