Did you put new knuckle joints in with the HiLos??
Sometimes these are not seated fully on installation but will settle more fully with a bit of use...
Wind out the Hilo a bit - that's what they're for
Cheers, Ian

Hi! So im wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction here. About 5 months ago and with much pain i changed my trumpets to Hi/Los and my shocker etc. After i did that i put a camber kit in and had it all calibrated by Jim Hunter suspension in blacktown. Everything was good. So sometime in the last couple months the front drivers side has dropped and i have no idea why. I have checked the height of the hi/los and they are both the same as they were when i set it up. I have no idea whats wrong and where to look, pulled the wheel off and had a look and all seems fine. Could i have a screwed shock? im thinking maybe i put in the normal shocks when i should of put in the shorter ones and now ive routed one? Thanks! |

Knuckle joint may have collapsed. Compare the height of it to the passenger side. Shocks don't play a part in the ride height. |

Check the top of the tower for cracks... these are getting common. When new, they were only stitch welded for maybe 1/3 of the seam length. If cracked, get them welded all around. |
