No, it stayed on. I reacted pretty quick. That was the beginning of last year.
I'm beginning to think now I should've changed the bushings anyways. All they said was "it's good enough to pass safety", that doesn't mean it's good enough for me. |

| Just saw your Thread-Just a shot in the Dark-Have you checked to see if one of your Airbags on your Suspension might be low? |

Air bags seem fine. Again I feel the problem is 90% solved with the s-cam brakes, it just seems the front axle has lost some stability it had.
A couple days ago, I hit some potholes in a parking lot on purpose, and the front left was clunking.
I'll post pics tomorrow of the movement. JAXLE, what does it take to change these bastards?
Thanks for all the suggestions guys, I really appreciate it!
The truck definitely handles a lot better then it did, both just driving and braking, but I still feel it needs to be a bit better! |

| No to see if the spring bushings would clunk. I didn't ram them full speed, just enough to see if they would clunk. |

OK :P
I was visualizing you going full throttle and hitting a pot hole to see what would happen. :P |

| To change the spring eye bushings you need to remove the spring.They can be changed in the truck but its usually easier to just take it out. the bushings are a bear to beat back in the spring eye and without the proper bushing driver its almost impossible to beat them in without destroying the new bushings. Good job for a spring shop |

No I don't feel it when I turn, at least I don't think I do. What I can feel is the geometry changing when I hit bumps, etc..
There is a good spring shop around here, maybe I'll check it out. |
