I notice at certain times when the road has undulations that the body of the car moves side to side a little too much for my liking. This is under normal driving when one side of the car moves up or down - it's just the chassis just rocks a little bit back/forth and gives a slight floaty feeling.
At the moment I am attributing this to my LCA bearings in the rear and that my sway bars are set on full soft. Would stiffening the sway bars level the car out some so it drives flatter? My theory is that the LCA bearing is making vehicle reactions quicker (because it does) and the sway bars aren't stiff enough to take out the body roll. Plus I feel like my shocks are at critical damping or slightly underdamped. But I feel like stiffening up the bars could help in this area by limiting body roll somewhat to counteract it.
Just a question for your suspension gurus. It isn't a big deal but just trying to see if I can improve this aspect.
Here are my mods:
Ford Racing shocks/struts, track springs, toe bearing, Strut Tower Brace
BMR sway bars, toe rods, CB005, vertical links
Steeda LCA bearing, bumpsteer kit, diff inserts, rear shock mounts
