Re: Vibration and ride quality

All good advice. I agree with starting at the road and working up.

On my truck I replaced all of the wear components (ball joints, tie rod ends, sway bar bushings, trailing arm bushing, shocks, etc.). Tires are new and rims are 80's rallyes. Steering box, column, etc. are all new.

Truck is perfectly smooth up to 90 mph. Between lowering springs and being swb, it is stiff over bumps. But I have no vibration and it tracks nice and straight.

I did "customize" the alignment by following one of the alignment threads on here, and it now handles much better.
