The only thing I'm hoping for is that it doesn't snow too much that were gonna get stuck up there.

Anybody have sways on their car? Is there any way to adjust them to make the steering tighter? My car feels loose at the rear wheels, like it wants to break out and drift.

your sway bar dampener (i think thats what they call it) may be worn/cracked and needs to be replaced. Same thing happened to my car... then it started making creaking noises. Are you getting the noises?

I just got these in September! I don't hear any creaking when I drive, but the way this has been getting worse, it's probably not far away. The handling on straights is sloppy and jiggly at times. I'll have it checked out. Gonna call Sage and see if they can fix it since they put them in.

have buddha look at them. I think something is loose or the sway bar dampeners need to be replaced. They are wear and tear items and with aftermarket sways they are strained a lot more.

There's no such thing as a sway bay "dampener".
The middle of the anti-sway bar is bolted to the frame of the car, and the ends of the sway bar is connected to endlinks (or anti-sway bar endlinks).

Here a pic.


I'll take it back to Sage to see what they say. If it sound funny or like BS, post up, and I'll let you know.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to take it down there tomorrow morning. Not a good look when my Blazer rides smoother than the G.

Sorry I meant endlinks... thank god I'm not a mechanic! LOOOOL but yeah I just got it replaced with OEMs... but they do make aftermarket swaybar endlinks that are supposed to be stronger and made for aftermarket swaybar applications.

Charles Barker Info

Whats up fellas? Just got a G about 2 months ago. I recently got the gauge cluster changed out at CB due to the rpm gauge acting up. I just wondering how they are with anything other warranty issues??

I believe the past owner of my car was pretty large aka fat, the driver seat foam is squished and the leather is starting to rip on the side closer to the door. Shift **** is also pretty worn on the leather too. Think this is covered by the warranty? Car only has 30k

Also, how are they with an OC test? I just want to make sure I get this checked out before my factory warranty runs out in June.

Thanks.
