Front end question
Okay, I just put new shocks on today and the ride is much better but when I hit pot holes my truck still goes bam! What should I check? Everything looks pretty good, I'm stumped.

Do you have a sway bar? If the bushings get worn, they will cause a bang.

Another thing to look @ is, the shock mounting studs. Where these bolt to the frame, the hole can wallow out, causing a bang when hitting a bump. good luck, steve

check your upper and lower control arm shafts they get loose in the bushings and bang all around.
