? for those who have hotchkis sways
so i installed mine last week on two seperate days due to the coldness and snow. first i installed the rears which i noticed the diff right away. the next day i installed the fronts and put both on med/med. when i was finished i took it for a test drive. something doesn't feel right. it feels like i have to move the wheel more just to make a basic turn(lots of play). not stiff at all compared to stock. i have the mcmaster collars on the inside of the front brackets, but dont sit exactly flush due to the bends in the sway.
from what i read it is not supposed to feel like this. can anyone throw some advice at me on what to check or redue.

It sounds like something is binding? Did they install easy, or did you have to force it? Did you lube the bushings? Can you take some pictures of the sways and we might be able to help.
Mine work great once I get the collars on, yet I put mine on the outside, but I don't think that would make a difference. And the collars don't have to sit flush, but need to be about 1/8" away so your sways can move a little.

i just cant imagine what is wrong. the bushings a lubed very well and the install was just unbotling the stock and replacing it with the hotchkis. wasnt that hard except stripped my end link nuts a little, but i even went to nissan to buy new one's. no pics right now, but it looks like every pic i have seen
