Header or suspension problem?

mystang428 · March 1st, 2007, 03:49 PM

I am having some problems with my 01 GT I put long tube mac headers on and now I am having 3 problems, first when I am cruising at about 40-45 I here something knock on the passenger side, second when I go over a speed bump it feels like something hits the firewall on the drivers side, and third when I turn lock to lock it feels like the suspension binds. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated seeing as the track is about to open back up.

are you lowered? what size wheels do you have? I have 285/35/18 and when i lock the wheel to either side the tires grind the well or something when theres pressure on the suspension. its not a pretty sound, but i was told it wasn't a big deal... just dont lock the wheel.

be careful with that, you dont want your frame cutting into your tire, I had that happen

yeah good call... its not a lot of rub, but if i lock the wheels on a steep slope or going over a bump it doesn't sound pretty!
