You are very welcome, just make sure if the screw is super tight (metal screw to metal block and such) then use hand tools to loosen it up first, then use powertools.

Best thing to do is take off the front bumper, take off te sway bar. Try your suspension with shocks only. The try taking off the shocks, only arms. Check for any type of binding or drag in movement. Keep trying different things till you come across what is causing the slow movement.

Absolutely.....if it is binding like Data's drawing indicated....It will cause BIG problems....if you wanna know for sure, adjust them as close together as you can on-purpose and feel the problems that will cause....then back them off and try again.....best done with the shocks off.....I agree with the step-by-step removal of one component at a time until the problem is found......

The problem can also be caused if the adjustment of the pivot balls in the front uprights is too tight......check that also.

good, i thought you cut it up in half and use it as cooling fins on your electric cars. bring your car over anytime.
