Bouncy front end.

Postby topgun94 » Sun Jan 04, 2015 5:59 pm

Hey guys.
I just got back from about a week on the beach. The mu cruised over everything but i definelty noticed that the front end was very 'soft' and bouncy. What should i attack first? I have heavy duty tierods and i fear if i go to a HD shock that may not fit as there is not a whole lot of room.
Cheers in advance guys

if its bouncy the shocks definitely need replacing. Unless you have a lot of extra weight up front standard shocks should be fine. Soft tyres can also cause bounce
Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them

On a side note. Where did you get heavy duty tie rods?

Hey mate, Sorry about the late reply. I got the HD tie rods from independent 4x. Also got reduction gears from them
