Lowering Bolt Issue
Has anyone had trouble with Lowering Bolts from aftermarket ( Corvette Mods ) with the rubber tearing loose from bolt to give metal to metal noise as suspension travels up and down?

Search the forum and you will problem find that most people have had this issue with aftermarket lowering bolts. People have better luck just taking the stock ones and cutting some of the bushing off.

Since this topic came up again, does anyone have any tips on how to make the stock lowering bolts easier to turn. Is there a trick to take the weight off of them so you can turn them easier. I jack the car up using the side jacking point but is that correct or is there a way to do it to take more weight off so they are easier to adjust?
Thanks for your help, I have seen posts on how to install the aftermarket which is way more than I think is needed to adjust the existing ones.

After you raise the car enough, put a jack stand "through the opening in the lower A-arm, under the spring". When you lower the car a little, the stand will hold the spring and take the load off so the adjuster is easier to turn.
