ok 1st off...every time I make a hard left turn, I get a grinding buckling type noise from the front left end. (Keep in mind I'm an electrician)I think its the springs, but what the hell do I know?


2nd...I have 20 inchers on my 93 caprice with the factory stance thats too high for my taste. Dont know if this helps but my tire size is 245/35/20. Any and all suggestions in lowering it will help tremendously. Not draggin ass low, but lower than stock. Like alittle bit lower than the Impy's would be perfect.

Hey D.V.S.001! I'm sorry, I overlooked your post.
I can't help you on the 20's, but as for the front
end noise, is that with the wheel held hard over?
If so, check the tires for rubbing the swaybar
or the steering stops may need some never-sieze
on them for lubrication. Hope this helps.

took it to the hobby shop on base (gotta love those hobby shops) one guy swore it was a pin or something connecting the a-frame, needed to be lubed.
I forget the name he used...ball something or other :confused: says its a $30 fix even for an greenie like me to fix. Well we will see.


Oh, and it handles terrible when navigating turns or hitting potholes (wobble wobble). Seems like the steering wheel has a mind of its own.

Take that car to an experienced/honest Front End Tech & have EVERYTHING[FE] inspected. Ask friends who that guy is, in your area. :eek:

O.K., probably more needs attention than
steering stops. Follow Larry Cigar's
advice, go to a shop. A bad ball joint
is not a thing you wanna let go.
