06 gt bouncing

[Carperson87]

70k miles bbk cai, high flow catts, hpipe, mbrp muffler deletes lcas adjustable pan hard stock springs shocks n struts. Just installed my JM UCA n mount and Hurst shifter. Now the rear end seems to bounce a lot. I'm thinking its time for strut mounts, shocks, struts, camber bolts n springs. Thoughts?

Not sure what that says hitandrundriver

What hole is the UCA in on the mount? if it's in the lower one you have more anti-squat and a bit rougher ride.
Kind of the same thing when you install LCA relocation brackets the ride gets a little stiffer.

If it's on the stock shocks & struts, they could certainly use an upgrade. These Strange 10-ways work well.

did you torque down the UCA with the suspension (all four wheels) loaded? If not, you may have bind that's causing your problem.

I'm thinking his new UCA has less bind and now the blown out shocks are showing more.

The stock dampers are all done at 25K miles. Yours have been dead for a while, time for new ones.

 

[Sharad]

Yeah, the stock dampers are notoriously bad.

For conversation's sake: I was talking to someone who I'd consider an expert and he said the whole "torque the control arms under load" mantra comes from the stock control arms which are bonded rubber on a metal sleeve. The person went on to say that once a person upgrades to basically any aftermarket poly or spherical joint, torquing the arms under load becomes irrelevant. I've installed them both ways and not noticed a difference in sound or performance.

Thoughts?

 

[fdjizm]

Agree, the bonded rubber bushings is the only reason to torque under load.

Thanks for the input guys. I've got gt500 mounts, eibach camber bolts, koni orange shocks n struts just waiting on my new springs to come in.
