which suspension parts would one need to correct suspension geometry changed from lowering? this is also a two part question once one does fix the geometry, are drive shaft spacers still needed to prevent the shakes that many have come to get after many miles of being lowered. all of this relates to a minimal drop of 1-1.3 inches.

 

I have read that you can interchange the CV joints left <-> right to get rid of the shakes. You may want to consider bump steer correction if you're serious about handling:

GL!

 

some people say drive shaft spacers are just feel good items and dont actually do anything. still havent got a straight up answer

 

when i can spend a bit more on my suspension i plan on getting the front and rear roll center adjusters, the steering rack bump steer spacer kit, and the driveshaft spacers.

 

i dont have the shakes, but if i do get the front and rear roll center adjusters is there a need for the driveshaft spacers???

 

The roll center adjusters do not have anything to do with the driveshaft, so you will still need the spacers if you want to increase the life of your driveshaft.

 

i thought buying these parts would bring the suspension back to its original geometry, so no added force would be placed upon any parts other than what it had at stock height. if this is true i don't understand why the spacers are needed.

 

it brings the suspension back to the origional geometry.. but the wheels are still higher up into the fender, you have to think of it in terms of wheel position.

stock lets say there's 2 inches of wheel gap.. you get rid of the entire gap and your suspension geometry is compromised, and your axles are at a different angle.

rca's, you still have no wheel gap, but the lower control arms have been pushed further down, to re-gain your geometry and put everything where it was, but your wheel is still in the same position as when you first dropped it, which still leaves your driveshafts at a different angle..

hope that helps

edit: here's a quick diagram

first one is stock.
second one is slammed.
third one is slammed but with rca's.

as you can see, the driveshaft doesnt change, hence the need for the spacers.

 

wow thank you for that ap2. that was the answer i was looking for. thank you again.
