AE82 FXGT Guard rub??

Postby Chris.W » Tue Jan 13, 2009 3:42 pm

hi guys, i have a ae82 fxgt and have just put superlow king springs with standard shocks into it and have a problem going over bumps i know that the wheels slightly rub with a slight body roll wich i can fix, but can hear a thump when i go over slight dips in the road, just wondering if anyone has had this problem with thier ae82, could it be insides of shock smacking the bottom or the lower arm hitting the chassis??

thanks
Chris

it will be hitting the bump stops. stock shocks on an ae82 will be WELL shagged.

you need new shorted shocks specially on poo soft king springs

yea would be the shocks. I had the same problem with mine. even the slightest bump in the road would give you a big thunk. In the end i replaced with shortened shocks and some new bump stops and problem solved.
