Default Wheel Hopping

I'm sure most of ya experienced it. You hit a pothole, a crappy filled pothole, or an uneven bridge/road surface, and one or the other front wheels start to bounce. It's close to death wobble, but not as dangerous, but just as annoying. Anyway, it's gonna be about $800 to fix ($550 parts $250 labor). Another $70 for the front end alignment. So if I spent another $700, I can have the entire front end done.

Forget the not being dangerous part, I ran her out of town and back, with a bridge in between. Hit the edge of the concrete, and I darn near had to stop the truck to get the truck to stop hopping. Dog about ate the dash also.

I've never seen something like that. What makes it do that? that sounds nothing like death wobble that I've experienced.

It's a pretty serious concern and using better products like moog it will help prevent it from happening again. I think you could get a better deal, we charge about 1300-1500 for the complete job including alignment. But that's this area.
