[QUOTE="BMR Tech, post: 15355686, member: 124691"] Yes. Many of our customers in both the GM and Ford segments of our operation, have ride height issues after lowering their vehicles. Some very common complaints after lowering vehicles are: -Car did not drop much in the rear -Car is sitting lop sided -Car is making noise now -Car feels very unstable and floaty -After lowering the car, some of the bushings have worn out Many times, it is simply due to not loosening all of the suspension pivot point bolts, and re-torquing them to their specific TA values whent he car is sitting on all (4) wheels/tires - loaded. The best way to perform this is get the car on a drive on lift, or blocks or drive on ramps. The car needs to be level and sitting on all 4. Loosen all of the suspension pivot point bolts enough to where there is no load on the nuts. After ALL of them are loose, go ahead and RE-torque them all to OEM specified values. These pivot points are as follows: FRONT: (anywhere there are rubber bushings) Front Radius Control Arm - inner mount Front Lower Control Arm - inner mount REAR: (anywhere there are rubber bushings) Upper Camber Link - inner and outer mounts Toe Link Outer Knuckle Bushing Rear Control Arm Front Inner Mount Rear Control Arm to Knuckle Mounts Hope this helps! Happy Modding! [/QUOTE]
