Suspension Drama.

I'll keep it brief. I lowered my car 2.5 inch give or take. Car had mad toe out, got an alignment, and everything is on point. NOW when I'm driving steering wheel is cocked to the left, I'll hit a small bump or slant in the road car darts right and steering wheel stays straight. Then hit something else car darts left steering wheel stays left. wtf?. Problem number 2... My sway bar is now sitting on my lower control arms. I know you guys on coils are lower then me, and can't find any info on how to deal with this horse poop. So much for keeping it brief. Any help would be awesome. \thank you

Wait, what! Your sway bar is sitting on your control arm?? What happened to your end links .

What are u lowered on? To go as low as u are, u need coilovers for any sort of decent ride and reliabiility. Either way, being that low, u gonna be replacing axles, tie rods, links, bushings like every year bro. THats jus how it is with our cars.

you will prolly need replacement of all older supsension components

You cant properly drop a car without fixing old bushing and suspension parts first...if youre going to throw springs and shocks on...id suggest replacing all old bushing at the same time to keep it tight... something obviously wasnt done right...try again
