Re: violent front end bounce
I only went up a little in tire size, from 215/85 to 235/85. I want to put my 255/85s on it after the lift. What I did notice after doing the kinpin springs is it only did the death wobble a couple times, whereas it was doing it every couple minutes on these bumpy winter roads. So it seems a little better. I did check the front end, only thing I found was the right wheelbearings were a little loose, and I replaced them.
Next step is to replace the front springs and shocks, bigger steering stabilizer, rotate the tires around and get two different ones up front. If this doesn't fix it I'm at a loss. I've tried or checked everything I can find. My GM guru guy said on his it was the steering stabilizer, don't know who else to go to for old sfa stuff.
Always heard about how fantastic these dana 60s are; so far I am not impressed.
