I was, but will slow down and study closer.

Van

Under braking? Under acceleration? While turning?

Under acceleration out of a sweeper entering the interstate.

As in oversteer? Car wants to rotate excessively or ?

Some slightly closer pictures.

I get these changes:

10 inch springs
Re-set the adjuster somewhat
Zip tie to ensure centering

Not sure on hat/perch...
Plates don't seem to have branding.
Looks like the small center bearing style
What spring perch do we need? Anything else?
Recommended source?


Thanks, and sorry for the basic questions.

Well, if it was me I would:

- pull the strut and examine the spring hat & bearing
- see if it looks like the GC pictured here in the thread (sort of does but can't tell for sure)
- if GC, then check the bearings - clean and lube or replace bearings if shot
- if NOT GC, then get the right parts.
- reassemble and zip tie the hats to the springs

I really don't think you need 10" springs. If the ride height is OK now, then you don't need longer springs. As Jon pointed out, you'll just have to lower the perches to accommodate the longer springs. You will always have a gap with the hats from the top of the strut at full droop.

You'll likey need a corner balance at some point but you'll for sure need one if you change springs. Better factor that into the budget.
