Spohn LCAs with del spheres
My car has developed noticeable looseness and power steer from the rear end. I double checked all fasteners. The car has Spohn 207 LCAs (del sphere on one end), Spohn PR and Spohn TA . It's a 12-bolt diff. I noticed looseness in the del spheres, so the next step is to tighten them. Please send your suggestions on troubleshooting and LCA adjutments to restore rear end tightness. Thanks

Re: Spohn LCAs with del spheres
Might want to check the panhard rod as well. Looseness there can cause the chassis to move from side-to-side, which would seem to have a larger impact on steering than small changes in LCA length due to joint wear.
I don't have the Del-Sphere joints, but as I understand it, you can open them up completely to examine for wear. Not sure if Spohn supplies replacement bushing cups.
