hmmm i never had a problem with it...but lowering the upper control arms might work, it just isnt easy to do, mine has them lowered just for the extra header room,it also makes the tires stay more upright thru the range of travel. (no camber change)
But if you have a big block in one good handling isn't even on the menu.

Thanks for the info Tom. I really don't know if I have this problem. I was under the impression that most cars do. Is the best way to cheak this is to take a jack and measure the tow-in befor and after the range of travel. Thanks agine Richard

YUP...take the springs out and try it, from fully compressed to fully extended. Can do it with the springs in ,but need to add weight to get it bottomed out.
