Eibach 2.0 started swaying

[mdeis]

I got off a trail a few weeks ago and noticed that my suspension was swaying more on turns. I put an Eibach 2.0 HD suspension on about 6 months ago. When it was put on, I noticed it swayed more, so I put the track bar relocation bracket on and it fixed the problem. Now it seems to sway like it did before. I looked to see if the bar was bent or the bracket had shifted, but I did not see anything. Any thoughts?
Thank you in advance.
2024 Badlands 2.7, stock wheels/tires with 1.5" wheel spacers.

Could it just be getting broke in?

by sway I assume you mean left to right. I have the same set up and it they are valved very softly. more brake dive, more squatting, and easier sway effect. However, mine haven't changed and Ive hade them on for a few 1000 miles. Is your electric disco working?

Mine got bouncy after they blew out. Both rear struts failed and now the front passenger. Got a warranty replacement in the mail. Thinking I wheel a bit too hard for 2.0’s and am eyeing the TeraFlex 3.3’s

how many miles (understanding that miles doesnt equate to off road time)? I love mine on the trails, but most of my wheelin is in 4 low so slower cycling times on the dampeners as opposed to high speed. I'd say it gets wheeled hard tho.

Just noticed that my rears are leaking fluid...how was your warranty experience with Eibach? Did you have to return before they sent replacements?

The experience was super easy. Filled out their online form and described what was happening, then they asked for photos of it, then they asked for the sales receipt. After that, they ask for your shipping address and they get delivered to your door

very quick responses too

they never asked me to return anything, I was concerned about that

My rears exploded around 30k miles and the front passenger around 36k (maybe a lil more)

I do a healthy mix of high speed and low speed crawling

over 10k of those miles would be off of pavement

That's good to hear on customer service. I'm about to install mine tomorrow.

You’ll love them. They are incredibly comfortable on the road and off-road

 

[Koss_co]

So glad to hear. I'll start them in the driveway tomorrow morning!

I have about 5k on them and maybe 500 off road at slow and high speed. They are Heavy Duty, but I carry about 500lbs mostly in the rear on them normally. How do I know if they are shot? Will they always leak like some have noted? Thanks for all the replies.

Wow. You were right. They are the best upgrade I've done this far. I towed the ski boat with them and it didn't even sag in the rear. Had to lower the hitch 2 holes. Very happy with the install.

My experience was that the rear end started to get bouncy, then bouncier, then obnoxiously bouncy to the point where large potholes or even the differences in slabs of highway would result in my rear end bouncing and moving in circles for 10-30 seconds after hitting them - it was worst when it did those thing and traction control would kick on and slow me down at highway speed.

there was also a lot of squeaking and creaking

went back and checked the shocks and the tops were blown out and all the fluid was all over the coils and strut body

In the front, it has been bouncy but not like the rear. I have HD 550lb springs up front which I think is why I don’t notice it as much. But the sounds it makes (squeaking & creaking) are obnoxious. Every little movement makes a noise, and there’s definitely less stability on the passenger side when turning

you’ll notice a difference in how it drives when they start to go, then if you keep on driving like that, they’ll totally fail and it’ll be extra obvious

eibach customer service is fantastic. call them. if they are making noise (the dampeners) then that is not correct.
