    Exclamation Help;srt8 Suspension

    Did anyone run into this problem. I installed my srt8 suspension and hotchkis sways on my r/t w/rt today. Alot of work but got everything on. Then we took it on a test drive and both rear cv boots ripped. We put it up on the rack and it looks like the sway bars ripped the boots. Can anyone shed some light on to this problem. It's to late here in Hawaii to call the dealer, but I figured the people on this site would have the answer. Help appreciated.

    I would guess that the bar or the bolt were installed incorrectly. I have torn into my suspention several times and have never run into this.

    How did you all go about installing the Sway and rear springs/shocks ?

    Question

    Yeah, I'm hoping we did something wrong. My Buddy is running the install and I guess first thing in the morning we are going to retrace are steps. I'm sure TireRack did not send me the wrong sway bars.

    Thanks for your guys help. You guys it the nail, we sure did put the sway bar in upside down. Thanks again, I knew the install had to be the problem. Now to take everything off and re-do the install.

    Don't forget to get a 4-wheel alignment after the install.

    LX Thanks

    Thanks, after everything we did, I'm sure an alignment sounds like an excellent idea.
