I LOVE these vehicles... for many different reasons. I have an 05 and an 06 both are base models one with body colored trim, the other has the grey plastic. I thought of adding a lower rear "spoiler/diffuser" from the Matrix but all 3 pieces are hard to find. Has anyone done this?
My real difficulty tho is that last weekend I replaced the front lower control arms on the 06, and when I lowered the car back down the TOE IN was extreme, so extreme that I bottomed out both tie rod ends and still have too much toe in. I am baffled by this as it seems the rack has grown longer???? The tires were singing to me so as a temp measure I removed a jam nut from a tie rods and used some thread locker with the rod end on one side and it still bottomed out. I only do a gentle 4 miles to work so it will suffice until I can remedy this. Any ideas??? I want to change the rack but that doesn't guarantee the issue will be resolved. After reading some other steering comments on here I too have slight "off center" steering wheel but that doesn't bother me, however this alignment issue is something I have never seen before.
Any help would be appreciated.
