so a few weeks ago I finished up my 12 bolt install and this week I started to actually drive the car. I have custom made adjustable lca's ( 1/2" - 20 heim ends) and a custom adjustable panhard bar ( 5/8" - 18 heim ends) with a spohn adjustable chassis mount long tube torque arm. I also have nearly bald MT 305-35-18 drag radials on the rear and kyb agx shocks (on setting 4 at the moment) with a front pro kit and the rear springs are stock with the hose mod.

cruising around and WOT up until around 65, the car is pretty damn solid....however tonight after a WOT run, letting off at over 100, the car starts to sway like im on a boat. Its just the rear end and its very scary and hard to hold a lane. Also on occasions in cruise around 75, the car would start swaying in the rear.

could my shocks be on too soft of a setting for this suspension combo? could that cause a high mph sway on cruise and on deceleration? earlier this week I had the shocks on setting 6 and it didnt seem to do it. Today I softened them up. I am also hearing a clunking when I turn, accelerate or hit a bump. My panhard and lca's are tight. Tire pressure was at 20psi, and then I ran into this sway issue and set them at 30psi and it didnt change a damn thing.

something has to be loose underneath. same thing happened to my eclipse gsx. and the track arm in the rear was coming apart from the body where it mounts. made it really scary until i got it welded again. but it has to be something where the panhard bar mounts

that rear end wants out of your car and wants to come to mine . It wants to be home with more of pauls parts .

Replace the tires first , i just had bald tires on my monte and it was a harsh ride , back end was unloading funny , got some new tires and its all good.

1/2"-20 rod ends for LCAs? I sure hope they are high quality ones, because they sound entirely too small for that application.

they are high quality but you really think they are to small? how big are the spohn ones??

I still have my stock lca's laying around so if I need to put them on for the time being, I will.

I was reading on another thread that it could possibly be my suspension? my fronts shocks are pretty soft right now and so arent my rears (setting 4) and with the Mt's could this cause my "wobble" after letting off on a high speed run?

stiffen up the rear shocks man , ya have the sway bar attached ??? or is it loose at all . the heim joints are gonna cause slight side to side oscilation but not enough to be scary though

yup. Sway bar is there. The heim joints have aluminum spacers so when they are bolted in, there is no side to side. I checked and made sure before it even came off the jacks.

I am starting to think it is my soft suspension. It didnt do this the other day when I let off around 130 or so and that was on setting 6. Yesterday before I took it out I softened it up to 4 and maybe thats too soft?

Saying also with the drag radials on maybe. Id say try to run it with some street tires again. Just for ***** and giggles. My car rides tottallyy different on dr's then street tires.

All of the well-built LCAs I've seen use 3/4" rod ends, as do the panhard rods.

car is fixed. I stiffened up my rear shocks to the max and my lower control arm bolts at the body loosened up. Put some lock washers on them and torqued the **** out of them.

is it still clunking?

kidcamaro98

iTrader: (8)

nope. Fixed it a long time ago.

was gonna say... mine was clunking like that and it turned out the torque arm bolts loosened up.
