front suspension problems
Ive got a 94 F150 XLT 4x2 5.0. The front right suspension is doing some odd things. i dont know that much about suspensions, but i know enough to know somethings wrong. Everytime i am turning and hit a bump the entire truck shakes and it feels like the rear tires are bouncing. I jacked it up today, and no matter how high i cranked it, the front right tire would not come off the ground. i know thats not good. maybe a bent tie rod or bad springs or something. Please help!!!

the tie rod seems to have some play to it also. Spring looks intact, the brackets look ok, the only thing is the spring streches so far down to let the tire stay down. I have no clue how all this happened. i hit curb about a month ago and thats the only thing i can think of. low speed tire side wall contact.

OK, went out and checked the shock. Yes, there is one there(go ahead, call me a newbie!). they are the origianal ones as far as i know, so they should be up for replacement. how do i tell if they are bad, and how do i replace them myself?
