truck rides really rough..
 
guys, just lately within a month or 2 my trucks back end has been riding so rough.. its almost to the point its dangerous.. it feels really springy.. if that makes sense.. any ideas?

how many miles on it? shocks maybe? how are the ball joints etc?

If it bounces alot like over bumps the shocks are out

I would look at shocks if its just started recently. Also check you u-bolts make sure they are tight.



If neither of those are right, borrow a page from longhorn and pour yourself a concrete bedliner :w2:

I just got the shocks this summer, I havent even put 5000 miles on them.. I like the concrete bedliner thing though!
The front rides perfect, just the back bounces all over the place...

Where did you get the shocks? Autozone? Just because they arent that old doesnt mean that they arent shot already... How do you think they are soooo cheap? :humm:

Before i put the 3800 SC engine in my Fiero i replaced the Ignition module 3 times because they were Autozone junk before i bought a dealer part for 3x the cost. Was allot more money but worth it.

I guess it wouldn't hurt to make sure all your springs are ok and that the binder clips and everything is in place.

I stepped on my hitch and bounced on it a couple of times and there is no resistance.. if i kept bouncing on the hitch i thought i could bring the rear tires off of the ground! I bought a set of Monroe Sens a track truck shocks hopefully this will do the trick!?
BTW the ones i had on there were ProComp not even a year old!

Rooster24v 01-20-2010 10:38 PM

took the procomp shocks off, yeah they were so shot! :madd: installed new monroe sensatrac and holy crap like driving a cadilac! what a difference!! now im wondering how shot are my fronts?:dang:
