[Tigers] Front Suspension

[wseay]

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’ll 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.

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
