Anyone know how long the front sway bar sleeves are? How about pictures of one installed? I have something funky going on. I have Binding on the front passenger side.

Thanks

Oh yea thanks to all vets for letting work on mine today!

Well it's not the swaybar. I unhooked it. I think the angle is wrong but it's not the issue. I guess that it's really not binding but the pass front is very stiff compared to the drivers side. I can barlely squat it . Just pulled front shocks. They are not the issue either.

I'm guessing I have a weak drivers spring. With no swaybar or shocks I can lift drivers side much easier than passenger side same with compression. Also driver front sits 1 inch lower than passenger side.

is this a recent thing, or has it been this way for a long time? does either side make any 'funny' noises when you bounce them?

Only noises now is just the springs. I don't know how long it's been like this. It sat for 13 yrs till last summer drove it a couple times trying to work out the bugs. When The nose would drop after shifting or a hard accelerated run it woul dart pretty bad. So I parked till now. That's when I found that the pass side is much stiffer.

well, you disconnected the shocks and the sway bar, and there are no 'ugly' sounds like an upper/lower a-frame seizing up, they that leaves the springs... how do the rear springs look? if one of those is broken or sagging, then the opposite front corner would be higher.

I forgot about checking the rear springs. Already ordered a new set of front springs . I guess that will tell me if its the rear. Opps!
