ggzilla Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 how do you mean it felt loose? The only thing I can think of is check the tire pressure with a gauge rather than just eyeing it. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Jump up and down on the bumper. Does it bounce excessively ? Are the shocks working? Quote Link to comment
green!b310! Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 shocks work fine and it does not bounce exesively but it does feel loose and im getting lots more body roll then usual tires are at 35 psi and yes ggzilla it feels loose thanks for the trouble shooting help though i really apreacheate it Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 If this was a noticeable change, that happened instantly, I would think something must be broken. :unsure: Have you tried to jack up the rear end and double-check everything under there? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Lug nuts tight??? Quote Link to comment
green!b310! Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 i havent gotten it up on jacks because my neck of the woods is having our monsoon season and my dad wont pull his porche out of the garage anyway so at the moment i dont have a dry level place to go underneath my car and yes the lugs are tight i re torqued all of the fittings i could reach to the factory settings Quote Link to comment
green!b310! Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 or i could just be trippin because it had prevously been raining for about a week and a half and then the sun came out just long enough to dry the roads and thats when i noticed the problem Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 That has leaf springs, right? Check your shackle bushings and frame mount bushings. Also check to see if you broke a spring, look for cracks. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Coils and 4 link. Something loose maybe? The 4 link positions the axle so if something is broken it could toe in or out and steer from the back. Quote Link to comment
