Ah!! Weird issue with new front end.
I just freshened the front suspension (balljoints, tierods, a-arm bushings, and springs), upgraded the brakes and installed drop spindles. The tires rub a little on the fender lip inder tight cornering but that is the least of my worries. When you have the wheels turned and move forward VERY slowly, the front end rises up!!
It is at a shop having a full front alignment, but I am not sure if that will fix it. The guys at the shop said that since the wheels rub that would cause it to lift up... I am a little skeptical about that since when it goes up there is no sound indicating any rubbing.
Has anyone encountered this?! HELP!

it's a result of caster......these cas come wih 4.5 -5 degrees of caster and it makes the front end rise a little whe turning at low speed. Mine does the same but to a larger extent because the front end is sitting sky high right now.....hope fully that changes when i put the 86 z front springs and polyurethane bushings in.
If you nedsome thing let me know

Well, the pro's were right. The wheel is catching on the inner fender and lifting the whole front of the car up!
It doesn't do it as much now that I had it aligned though. Parking lots are a bitch at the moment.

what's bent???? there's got to be a reason it's catching on the wheel well.....I've had the same problem with mine.....the crossmember is bent and possible the entire front subframe...find out cause it sounds like some thing is bent unless you have some crazy wide tires.
