man i want bags so bad....i wish i didnt put tat project off
I dont know how I have NOT had problems with mine cosidering all the hell I have put mine threw.
I am all that is man
i had issues with it and it was cuz my tranny mount bolts had loostened off and was causing the tranny to drop almost an inch on that side...
1st 1st gen on air.....
i just replaced my cj joint but i have had bags on my car for a little over a year and a half.
mine blew when i was on coil overs but that was because i slammed the suspension and the angle on the cv joint was to much and it blew the boot
but now i have no problems i drive at a 2 inch drop so no stress on nothing now
can i haz bondo
A little story from me....
Back when my old car was first dropped on air ( almost 4 years ago ) I went through absolute hell with pulling out boots. I went through 5 in a month and a half, all from making a left hand turn and of course, the boot was on the driver side. I single handily raised the in stock quantity of my local NAPA parts store for driver side drive shafts. The last time I blew a boot, the driveshaft hit the tranny pan and knocked a huge hole into it, so I took it to a transmission shop......who in turn discovered the problem. The problem was I had hit a pothole with the car too low, it lifted the tranny and engine thus twisting the transmission mount all to hell. My tranny had be sitting on an angle the whole time, which was why the boots were exploding. Look into that, or a similar problem.
Bagdfire- did you have any vibrations before you got the tranny mount fixed?

nope never really felt any vibrations from that problem.....just kept spewing out driveshafts
I guess ive been really lucky.
When on coilovers I drove at like a 3" drop from stock for over two years.
Bags- I drove as low as possible all the time for about a year and a half.
Still on stock joints. Never had a problem with them and they are about to hit 100,000 miles.
I am all that is man
yall say low like how low because im riding 40psi inthe front and 50 in the rear and i just took a left hand turn today and bam...... blowed the cv joint9boot0 on the drivers side so i was stuck with towing it home. is that riding too low or what or could it be because my car is out of line, along with driving low?
45 in the front and 50 in the rear and im fine
I get my setup this week. I'm going to make sure and watch out for this!
No problems here! I guess Im lucky too.....
30psi for front and 25psi for rear all the way!
