gold28 Forums Junkie Location: Madrid - Spain Registered: August 2002	Re: swaybars Wed, 15 October 2003 05:18 Lowering the rear of the car changes the thrust line of the suspension geometry. This will reduce the traction available and also lead to an oversteer situation. (I also have this problem). The only way to fix this is to either return it to standard ride height or change the trailing arm hinge points. You can improve traction a little by installing an LSD but that only covers up the problem. Your chassis rails probably aren't bent and if they were it is very unlikely that an anti-roll bar would have caused it. Because the upper and lower trailing arms are a different length, the diff will pitch with suspension movement. Lowering the car will pitch the nose of the diff down (lower the uni joint) This is why the make adjustable trailing arms. Lowering a car doesn't necessarily make it handle better.
