[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 23-Sep-00 AT 03:03 PM (EST)[/font][p]

I also have a problem in my front suspension,
The whole thing sort of feels like it's disconnected. whenever I hit a number of small bumps in succession the truck feels like it's just going to bounce right over into the curb! I've replaced the front shocks,twice! It seems like they may not be doing the job successfully. does anyone make a shock to work with the towing package? besides the factory? Could my balljoints be bad? help if you can,,,,,,65

Lower ball joints seem like a good possabillity. Jack the truck up and give the wheel a good top to bottom pull to check for movement. I put thte Edelbrock IAS shocks on my truck. (97 F250 LD 4X4 XCAB) and they made a world of difference. about $70.00 a piece if you shop around. I believe they have a lifetime warrenty too but don't quote me on that!!! Good luck

I replaced the rear shocks yesterday and it's much better now. It's wierd that the rears could
affect the ride of the front. Just cleaned the truck from top to bottom including the interior,and I lost a few mysterious rattles,too!
Still loving this truck after a year and a half !!
(bought it used)
