: cognito uca rough ride at 65 mph Nor-Cal Nick 09-03-2008, 07:57 PM Need more info on wheels and tires. How much room is between the UCA and frame stop. made 2 pull 09-03-2008, 08:01 PM stock rims with 265/75/16 tires little more than half inch on frame stop Nor-Cal Nick 09-03-2008, 08:05 PM Is the kit from us? Asking because then I know what shock you have. made 2 pull 09-03-2008, 08:06 PM Yes Nor-Cal Nick 09-03-2008, 08:12 PM What does it feel like? Can you give me more to work with. made 2 pull 09-03-2008, 08:16 PM you can feel a shimmy at 65mph anything less than 65mph is fine Nor-Cal Nick 09-03-2008, 08:22 PM Did you disconnect the drive line when installing the rear blocks? Have you back tracked the install? (not sure if you did it your self)? Might find something there... This is not a common issue I have seen so it more than likely is something simple over looked. Any more info about how the install went, maybe something you might have thought was odd? made 2 pull 09-03-2008, 08:32 PM I did not install it. A local shop did hailchaser 09-03-2008, 10:43 PM Like Nic said, trace back over the install. I just put mine on with no problems. Runs smooth up to 85mph so far. Only problem I had is my tire size was a little big and my wheel backspacing. I didn't want to cut or hammer my inner wheel wells anymore than I already had so what the heck, goin to move on up to the Cognito 4-6. Just ordered from NOR CAL today. Good Luck. Take some pics and post them on this thread. Maybe then we can see something unusual. hailchaser 09-03-2008, 10:52 PM Check this out: Another thing for those who have a shimmy/shake at 50-60mph to look at is the bolts holding the rear of the driveshaft to the rear diff. I had this irritating shimmy and was starting to investigate. I found that of the 4 bolts holding the driveshaft on, 2 were finger tight, 1 was very loose using a wrench and the last was ok. I thought I would check the U-joints and am glad I did. After tightening everything up, things were better today. Nor-Cal Nick 09-04-2008, 11:17 AM I did not install it. A local shop did I sent you a PM last night to find out your Name and # so I can call you to see if I can help. MB1 09-05-2008, 12:56 AM Sorry to hijack but what is the reccomended clearance at the frame stop? Nor-Cal Nick 09-05-2008, 11:45 AM You want to maintain atleast 1/2" - 3/4" of space. the more the better the ride. | ||
