WHITE KNUCKLE STEERING
OK I cant take it any longer.
I am going to do the V Code up grade,on the front of my 2000 EX 7.3
N O W the big question is where is the best place to purchase them.
Please dont say the dealership.
Remember: A PENNY SAVED IS WELL JUST A PENNY, BUT WITH A BUCKET FULL YOU CAN TAKE YOUR FAMILY OUT TO DINNER.
Thanks for reading and any help would be welcome.

Front springs 3/8" off bump stop. I cant even slide the tip of my little finger between the bump stop and the springs.
Hellwig rear sway bar 6 years old.
Ball joints fairly new still tight. 3 years old
All steering links still tight 3 years old.
Steering box replaced ( Red head ) 2 years old.
Shocks all the way around 1 year old.
Brand new 10 ply tires with alignment 3 months.
So I am running out of parts to replace.
I have got to get some distance back between the bump stop.
It feels like I am in a slow boat on a rough lake during a windy day.
Thanks for your help EXv10 but that wasn't the answer I was looking for.
PS: I will replace front sway Links and bushings when I replace the springs.
Thanks

Worn parts in the front end, high tire pressures, toe in not set right. Mine tracks like a freight train, has zero steering wheel play, and lots of miles on it.

P.S. I can get my thumb between the frame and bump stop and rarely ever bottom out so you don't need much more clearance in there. Maybe you can add a leaf at a spring shop and they might just have a solution also. With one inch clearance you will almost never bottom out.

There are lots of posts about the wandering issue. You might do a search on it and prepare to read for a while. I cured mine with the Roadmaster Active Suspension and a rear Helwig Sway Bar. I run 60 PSI front and Rear in my load range E BFG Rugged Trail TA's.
Some other folks used the Land Yor radius arms if I remember correctly.
