well one of them was the original, the passenger side. the driver side was newer although it was bad also.

 

1. Shocks dont "Bounce back". All they are supposed to do is be able to compress and expand with a good amount of force, then when you suddenly apply force (like hitting a bump) they are supposed to apply ALOT of force. My brand new Rancho's act this way.

2. I paid $180 something for a FULL front end alignment at Firestone and I have it for life. If I feel like it, I can go to any Firestone and have it aligned... for free. I did this after I rebuilt my front end, new shocks, new coils, new bushings, tie rods, ball joints, everything. Even painted everything. (The actual rebuilding was all me, everything else was firestone)

 

yeah i didnt mean actually "bounce" back but im sure u knew what i ment, . as for the alignment that was including the labor and parts for the bushings. i am assuming that its the axle piviot bushing that controls the camber/caster, i wonder if its just worn out and needs to be replaced?

 

ok so as i was replacing the coil springs today i checked the bushing for the radius arm. also, the pivot arm? i think thats what its called ( the big chunk of metal that the spring and shock is hooked to) The radius arm bushing were good, the pivot arm bushing on for the passenger side was shot, had up, down, and side to side play, that explains why that wheels camber is screwed up. anyway add that to the to do list...
