I don't know why exactly but I find lately when I make turns left and right (more so right) my suspension feels really..squishy? unstable? It's been like that since I have had it (bought it about a month ago) and this is my second Dakota. its a 02 extended cab sport package 4x4 4.7 and my last truck was a 98 extended cab sport package 5.2 4x4. and they both handled the same way.. is this common for our trucks or did I just buy myself a big repair bill waiting to nip me in the...bum?

Cheers, and thanks for the help!

 

What do you mean it feels squishy? I have a 98 4x4 5.2 and it corners well its not soft or anything.

 

when you go over a bump does it bounce a lot could be shocks are weak

 

i got offroad shocks and cranked up my torsions bars an inch and it all but eliminated the bouncing over bumps problem, its most likely the truck not something wrong.

 

it must be the truck because I just went back to the lot I bought the truck. I saw the service records and it has brand new monroe shocks on them.. oh well I can live with it.

 

Check your end link bushings. The rubber bushings do not last long with aggressive steering.
