Reply to "Front Suspension Adjustment / I need some help!!"

Former Member

I hope someone can suggest what the heck to do to reduce the front end lightness and general roughness experienced in my Speedster. (Swing Axle not IRS)
In general, my car rattles over bumps quite a bit. (even the small ones? In fact, it's really beginning to bug the heck out of me. I believe the car was assembled correctly and made with some great care, so I am a little frustrated. There were shims added to the car, and the car is equipped with a sway bar up front. When I go over bumps I seem to get quite a bit of sqeaking, as if I'm shaking something loose or the body feels less than secure??
My local mechanic lowered the car 1/2 " to try and compensate for the problem. He did this because he described my cars ride as if if were a pinball machine.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone experienced similar problems? Is this just the nature of the this type of car?
Any advice would be appreciated!
