Stresses created on lifted vitara front end
Posted: Fri Oct 09, 2009 6:51 am
Hi all, I have just lifted my 89 swb vit. By means of 180sx coils and commodore shocks in the rear and 2" coil spacers in the front with strut spacers and camber bolts everything else stock. Have 2" bl and 31x10.5 BFG muds This is all good so far and I have yet to break anything. Did steep climbs and mudholes and flexy tracks.
It is my dd too and recently I realized that there is this clunk from the passenger side front wheel areA from time to time. From what I diagnosed, it happens when there's sudden torque to the car, ie fast take off or when you release the clutch too fast before you feed enough gas to drive it. If you guys know whAt I mean.
I checked the wheel and realized the wheel nuts were coming loose. Tightened it up and the sound still goes.
I suspect it's the wheels nuts popping a little bit hence causing the clunk but can't be too sure as the thread looks fine to me.
Thus my question is if there are any known stress that will be inflicted upon after such lift? Such as driveline or wheels etc.
Cheers
