SS/SC how low do you go before you axle bind

been trying to figure this out for more than a year,

why do some have it and some dont, i just have 1in in the front 1.5 in the back

i recently changed the transmount with powel and it cure the wobble in first gear but still intermittent in second year

i personally dont believe 1in can cause axle bind or EVERY cobalt would!!!

I'm all the way down on Ksport Coils, no axle bind. Sounds like you have another problem.

it cant be axle bind at 1inch that dosent make sense at all, the cars suspension will travel about an inch on cornering and that wouldnt be very performant to get axle bind in corners...
