stephen, you're also running a shorter tire so the wheel 'gap' will be greater. measure ground-to-fender lip versus your dad's car and see where it's at.Quote:

We're on identical wheel and tire sizes. ZSP = sports package, incase that was causing some confusion.
Anyone?Quote:

I think the way they tend to go bad is seal failure. Although I could be wrong. You'd see loss of steering atf fluid, funny noises, etc.Quote:

It's also possible his springs are shot, thereby resulting in lower ride height.Quote:

It is very loud; I'm wondering if perhaps my shock is toast and it is no longer absorbing bumps?? I'm really worried I'll damage something if I keep driving it like this. Has anyone else's car done this before? I do not feel anything in the steering wheel when it does this, and it's only in the front, what seems like only the right side but I can't be sure.
I took a quick peek and it doesn't seem like my swap bar bushings or CABs are damaged; everything looks fine visually. :dunno
No it just doesn't feel as tight as it should be. Haven't noticed any fluids. Probably not the rack, maybe something else?Quote:

I'm comparing my car to every ZSP I see. Just use my dad as an example since it's the easiest. His car barely has 60k on it and has been babied. Recent inspection with no issues, too.Quote:

In that case, someone probably just put the wrong springs back in your car when they replaced them. :(Quote:
