suspension (airbags) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So for some odd reason my passenger side seems to ride as if there is no shock installed. Bounces a lot more than the driver side. I've replace the shocks with new ones. but i still get that passenger side bounce. not sure if maybe my A arms shafts might need to be replace maybe?

Thanks for help...

IHmmm that sounds strange, do you have sway bars?

Sick5 · 05-23-2022, 01:08 PM

Yeah i got that as well. I know it can't be the shock angle since both side are the same. Maybe it's my cross bar shaft.

It could be bind. If you're not sure, re-check things to eliminate that.

Yes. Unless you're 100% sure, it's worth checking.

So the shaft needs to be loose enough to turn by hand right?

There shouldn't be much resistance on the older threaded rubber lined steel bushings when pivoting them from compression to extension. Check upper & lowers.
The later 73-87 rubber pieces will have more resistance/bind.

Anytime. I ruled your shocks out because of the mention about them already being replaced. You wouldn't expect that so it makes trouble shooting more difficult.

Share some pics!
