Joel,
You might want to check the setting on your Konis. If they are original =
Konis and they are still at the factory setting, they=E2=80=99ll be very =
stiff. They will provide correct rebound, etc but it will take a lot of =
force to compress them. Backing off a turn or so should lighten them =
up.

Subject: [Tigers] Front Suspension
Since it has been so quiet, I thought I would throw one out. My front =
suspension is sooo stiff and the height is 2-3 inches in my mind higher =
than it should be. Rebuilt suspension, welded up per CAT instructions, =
stock springs, Koni shocks - old and all new rubber etc.
The front has no bounce at all. First idea is to loosen upper and lower =
control arm bolts, drive just a bit and then re-tighten. Can you put =
the front anti sway bar on upside down - not sure is could be a problem =
or not. Bushing grease on all new rubber?
Thoughts\ideas would be appreciated.
Joel Martin, MK1A
