trenton163 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I am in the process of a front end rebuild ans so far I have replaced the all of the tierod ends torsion bars and strut rods. I am going to take it in for a alignment but before I do I have a question. When I installed my torsion bars I tightened them until I got the ride hight where I want it ( about 31.75 at the lip and about .5" at the upper bump stop). But now when I go around turns at around 40 mph or more my tires squeal really loud. So my question is that will a alignment fix the problem or should I back off the T bars a little? I really dont want to as now the truck is level and everything. Any advice would be great. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverton Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Slow down in the corners it's the design of the IFS, when you're in a corner your front inside wheel leans WAY in like this --> / or this \ depending on which way you're turning So just the inside edge of the tire is literally dragging on the ground...

unccpathfinder Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Alignment will help but its ifs and as u corner they will be like / / this or \ \ that but the toe is what gets messed up when you crank...along with camber so it should help a lot with the issue...also if your locked they will chirp...also how bald are the tires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the new strut bushings affect it at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamzan Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 You probably just need an alignment and new tires. I had the same problem once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
