Front End Bushings
Okay, I have officially decided that the front end of the goat has wear issues, won't drive straight or smooth : So, anyone have some suggestions on front end bushings for these trucks?? I'm looking into offroad/race type, something that will take the abuse of the 19.5's. I already have ball joints on the way (again) and just replaced all the tie rods so locator arm bushings are about all that's left.
Ideas? Links? Vaguely remembered info??

Have you tried energy suspension to see if they offer some good graphite impregnated poly bushings?

Never heard of them, but I'll certainly take a look.

Lukes Links and a DSS will work wonders. Works with 2x4, 4x4, lifts or stock.

You could build your own links for way less than those other links.
Track bar replacement and new bushings mad a huge differance on my truck.

Well, I found one problem earlier today, the rear crossmember broke out around the bolts at some point, patched it up and the difference is amazing. I'm still going through the front end though, it's due.
I found energy suspension, looks like what I'm after, now all I have to do is find a dealer near me and get some prices.
