My friend just lowered his gs300 and he says now when ever he goes past 30mph there is this screeching noise. When he makes a turn it pulls hard to the direction he is turning and fishtails. Any idea what this could be? hes double check all the bolts and checked to see if anything is rubbing and doesn't see anything wrong.



This is how his car is sitting currently.

it could be anything what is he lowered on? it could be barrings breaks etc for the screeching. or the tires rubbing (tires might too big). try to listen where the noise is coming from, remove the tire and see where its rubbing and for the fishtailing, you might need better tires. goodluck. nice stance though.

could be botteming out the shock on the rear which makes it have no play, no play = stiff. stiff= drifting in the rear lol......

but bottoming out wouldn't make the rubbing screeching sound would it?

BIGGZ

its probally the the tire rubbing the fender wells.

cut springs huh?hows the ride?freeking bouncy isnt it.i did the same when i fisrt got mines.

lilsaigon

its actually 3 coils cut all around, and yupp its pretty bouncy yea following through your thread when u first got the car and i saw that u cut 3, and i was like might as well try it but didnt know it was gunna turn out like this lol but the rear doesnt seem to bottom out. i can take a normal turn at like 30-40mph i can feel my car fishtail, its crazy man and its stressing me out lol

status....

the wheels may be rubbing the wells in the front cause of how low it is causeing part of your problem. try jacking the car up and see if there is areas that show rubbing

lilsaigon

ok i'll do that but it seems its just the rear is giving me problems, just that screeching and fish tailing. somebody save me

BIGGZ

did you make sure all the bolts you guys removed are tightend properly?

jroman32

I would reccommend getting new shocks all around since now theres more weight occuring towards your suspension,,, plus.,., thats a drop more than 2"inches,,

lilsaigon

all bolts are on tightly but i can double check again. thanks for the recommendation. do you guys think its because it has small thin wheels and the alignment?

[ant]

alignment and poor suspension setup e.g. cut spring on soggy old shocks can cause fishtailing but it wouldnt make it screech...

one way to check for hitting and what not is to jack the car up and put it on stands, and then get your jack under the tyre and jack the wheel up into the wheel well. you can then watch it go up into teh wheel well and see if it is hitting anywhere etc. this is what i did when fitting low offset wheels to see if the tyres were going to hit the guards on my old car.
