Megan Racing: Fron Lower Tie Bar, Front lower H-Brace, Rear Lower Tie REVIEW

Streethonda06 · 12-20-2006, 03:50 AM

Okay total install time 1hr w/ 2 people. install was easy and everything is tight. I can really tell the difference i love them alot!!! its really nice not have as much roll any more.. The only thing is that when i apply alot of torque to any part i some times hear a loud bang nose does anyone els have this same problem, i believe that its trying to fight the forces from the car... lol but i dono her are a few pix sorry for the bad quality...

Leme know about that bang nose... all the bolts are as tight as i can get them, w/ a 1/4 turn of a torque bar.

do you have all do you have the front and H??

blaznhot_23 · 12-21-2006, 12:11 AM

i want to make a guess and say that maybe your sway bar links might be loose or even possibly worn. if you've tightened all your bolts on your aftermarket stuff it shouldn't make any noises. i know that when you have a loose rear end link it can make a noise similar to that...

Well it hould not be lose we tightend it as much as we could.... but i'll go back under there and try again, but last time i tried it didn't even budge a bit!!! i just dont want to break a bolt or anything

i have everything but the front lower tie, though i may pick it up sometime soon just for aesthetic reasons. yes, aesthetic reasons that no one can see, lol.

i'll see what i can find out from megan for you though. i'm pretty sure it's something else, but i'll take a look.

REally amazing... like i'm driving on a roller coster... you know that feeling when your body goes one way and the cart goes another.. yea... its hard to hold on because the car handls so well and all your body wants to do it keep going in another direction

I have just the front brace, and its banging like crazy. everything is tight, and when i grab the bar....nothing budges no matter how hard you grab it by hand. But under acceleration and braking, and moderate bumps, it creaks and bangs significantly........wtf. Good handling though.

Thats what i thought.... its the front bar.... okay good, i'm glad that i'm not the only one... OKAY then this is a normal affect...

just think about it, your front struts move alot more when turning and acceleration and breaking... because of this it moves and makes the noise... that is what i thought it was going to be... i just needed to hear that someone els was have this same issue

Thanks for the review, hope you get that banging issue solved. Keep us updated on it!

CHRIS · 12-21-2006, 10:17 AM
