Thread: suspension help

Just a suggestion. When you ask a question like this, you need to fill in some details. We don't even know what year your Chevelle is. You didn't tell us you had both ladder bars and modified stock trailing arms. You didn't tell us what Hotchkis setup you used. That makes it really hard to give you a good answer.

You definitely have too much stuff hooked up. Your suspension is binding. To keep the ladder bars, you would need to disconnect everything else and install a panhard bar or track bar to locate the rear axle left to right. However, I DON'T do that - especiallly with a bolt-on ladder bar. Stick with modifying the trailing arm system.

The GM 4-bar trailing arm suspension can be made to work really well. If you've replaced all 4 of your trailing arms with adjustable Hotchkis parts, you should be able to make it work.

Otherwise, you can install the Lakewood lift bars.

In any case, forget the bolt on ladder bars. Not a good solution.
