:help: The suspension on my Maxx lifts the right tire when turning tight right but when I turn tight left the left tire doesn't lift. I have an active torsion bar set up on both the front and rear of the truck. It seems to turn tighter to the right than the left. Could it be toe in adjustment? That's my only guess. Any ideas would be appreciated. :help:
 
Well the springs,oils,and pistons are all the same right. and have any of the shocks leaked oil.
you do want to make sure that all teh toe,and camber settings are the same.
and deactivate the torsion bar and see if it still does that that is all I can think of.
 
I was also thinking a shock problem or springs mine did the same thing I replaced the springs and solved the problem.
 
Tarant has the right idea. Take the FRONT sway bar off. The rear is good to have but the front one doesn't allow the suspension to work indenpendently enough. MT's naturally have a lot of suspension travel so having a sway/torsion bar (whatever people call 'em) inhibits the front suspension too much. When I was buiding my Maxx I thought it would be cool to have sway bars all the way around. One of the guys at my LHS was saying how it might be better if I took the front one off. I did that today and it seems to work much much better.
 
Thanks for the ideas. I'll start with sway bars, that seems to be the easy place to start. then I'll head for the shocks and springs. I don't see any shock but never know. I rechecked the toe and camber and it is right on the money.
