walk kit not very effective

[heady2010]

Just fitted a second hand walk kit and to be honest i can't really tell much difference. The only thing i did notice when fitting was that the inner piece of the bush wasn't the tightest fit to the bottom arm, possibly causing unwanted movement? Anyone had similar experience?

Can't speak for a 2nd hand kit but the new kit i fitted made a noticable difference to handling, how old is the kit you got and how many miles has it covered? Believe you can get new polybush inserts for them too

Are you just running walk? Any other suspension mods? I think the main thing its meant to do is reduce wheel hop, which mine does excellently. Personally i haven't really felt much advantage in handling as i am running stock springs and dampers. I have recently added an autotech arb to the rear which has vastly improved handling and will add to that when i my bilstein b12 kit.

Did you have geometry / alignment done afterwards?
