Just want people's opinions on this matter. Lowered my 09 LNF on B & G springs and new struts so I bought OTTP's steering rack spacers so that I wouldn't get bind on full lock. Installed them and since then, I noticed my steering column seems to vibrate pretty bad over bumps and dips in the road. It's not bad but I can hear it all the time. Took the wheels off again when I changed out sway bar bushings/LCA bushings/sway bar endlinks and tightened them down but I still get it. I just got on ZZP's website and they now offer them but it has a machining in the center that seems like it would fit the lip of the rack better. Has anyone had these issues before?

 

Did you confirm that the bolts holding your steering rack are tight and holding it in place firmly?

 

Yes they are tight but there is a lip on the underside of the rack that keeps it from sitting flush against the rack.

 

Did you get the correct size spacers?

 

There is no size difference besides the thickness of it. The B & G springs drop it like 1.75 inches so I got the corresponding spacer. Is the rack and pinion the same on all Cobalt models or do the SS's have a faster ratio?

 

All the steering racks are the same

 

Could you put up a picture of this so we can see what it looks like? Could be your issue.

 

I will later when I get home

 

What size endlinks did you get? Get A keyhole spacer as well. It raises the engine to help align the axles

 

try putting ur back tires on the front.. if it goes away or gets worse its ur tires or all the extra negative camber from lowering it. if u see the camber thats a problem :P
