Hi all,
I juiced a 78 Monte and used powerballs in the rear with 3 1/2 ton coils with about three coils and oth front and rear sway bars. The problem is that when the car is fully locked up front and rear and I drop one of the rear corners, the rear corner barely drops about 1/2 to 1". If I drop both rear sides down a little more, the car will also drop a little lower when I do the corners. It's almost like it's getting hung up but I checked everything and it all looks fine. I don't know what else to do. I was thinking maybe shorter shocks but I think that will hurt my ability to three wheel. It sucks even more cause I can't throw a side from fully locked up unless I drop the car from the rear even more.
Any suggestions you guys can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Lose the sway bars and it should do it. If it still doesn't then take off the shocks too.

yup my guess would be sway bars and or shocks

I agree. I think that you should definitely lose the sway bar and the shocks.

sway bars reason for being there is to stop a car from swaying side to side ,so lose it .and take off the shocks

then pull that tire in the air :biggrin: :biggrin:

lose the sway bars

Lose the shocks and sway bar for sure

Ok I got it, lose the bars. <g> Did that this morning and it throws a MEAN side to side. Thanks to all for your help. I didn't think the swaybars would hold it up that much but I guess you learn something new every day. Thanks again for everyones help.

Glad that you got it fixed. Basically, the sway bars are there to keep the car from rolling from side to side.

I to have a 78' Monte....I am having trouble Standing 3 (i have 4 pumps 14'' cylinders) and i recently chainbridged it, and when i go to lift the left rear it really struggles to the point of where i welded the C CHANNEL the welds are breaking apart. You all think if i took off the rear sway bar it would make the car stand 3 easier?? please help guys.
