Re: [DML] Upgraded Front Suspension



I turned the sway bar bushings around (meaty portion towards the rear). I also am using rubber sway bar bushings, not polyurethane (more squish). Combined with inherent sway bar flex, which BTW is why LCA's won't stay put in the original design (stand a sway bar on end and pull on it -- they are bendy as can be and totally unsuitable for use as thrust arms), my front end goes through its *PROPER* range of motion effortlessly.

For the morbidly curious, this is what your LCA's are doing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMHO4Aydk04
Mine don't do that.
