I have been checking all that suspension stuff you suggested and giving it a very close inspection and everything looks good except the sway bar drop links are shot front and rear.

So I put new drop links all around.

Check this out Tony I spent all day today putting in the new coilovers and the reason it took me so long was everybody says the last thing you do is tighten down the 3 nuts up top under the hood after the car is complete and on the ground.

Well I went to do that but I couldn't get it adjusted the way the stock camber alignment was which was both sides were all the way out toward the fender.....So after some checking it was those 4 allen screws on top were hitting against the angled metal under there were it mounts too.

So I had to take them completely back out and move the 4 allen screws to the other set of holes about a 1/2" back from the holes they had them in when they arrived.....Man was I pissed....So after doing that they could then be adjusted all the way out toward the fender like the stock adjustment was.

Then I spent the rest of the time guessing where to adjust the coilovers so it sits at the factory ride height....When I first put it down on the ground it was way to low so it took me 3 different adjustments to get it right.
