Ok, so some of you may remember me complaining about a loud grinding noise on my car on hard acceleration. I installed single adjustable rod end LCAs from UMI that i got from Strano, and it fixed that problem. There isn't even a hint of that at all now. However, now i can't even really go around a turn without pretty much drifting around it if i am going over 10mph. It seems like it doesn't want to get any traction whatsoever. How should i adjust these? Thanks

They shouldn't have changed anything suspension-wise. Did you adjust them so the rear end is square in the car?

I would inspect again, for things like a disconnected rear
sway bar link etc. The LCAs themselves ought to have no
way to steal your traction. Centered in the hole and
pointed straight, is about as good as it gets.

I'm thinking of the rear end not being square in the car. When you put the adjustable LCA's in the car did you notice if they were the same length as the old ones, and the same length side to side?

Also, does it act the way you describe when turning in one direction, or both?

actually, it doesn't really do it anymore. i drove it to school today and maybe it was just because it was at 2am when i tested it and it might have been a bit damp, but i haven't been having any problems with it. (yes the new LCAs were the same legnth as the old ones)

You should definitely measure to see if the rear end is square, too, even if it's just for peace of mind. When dlove put my LCA's on he measured a bunch of times to make sure it was perfect.
