Im getting bouncing from my front right side while I drive and when I brake it bounces even more and a lot more when I brake on the freeway at higher speeds.but I have new front rotors and pads.I replaced the ball joints upper and lowers cause they were bad.My front tires are worn on the outside would that be from the worn ball joints I replaced or bad front shocks.I cant figure out if the my front shocks are bad casuing the bouncing or my tires are bad from the ball joins I replaced causing the bouncing anyone?thanks

 

Did you get an alignment after the ball joint swap?

Shocks

 

yes I got an alignment I think its the shocks to ,some guy at a shop told me its my tires cause they are cupped he called it but their not their just worn on the outside.And told me bad shocks only bounce when you go over a pot hole not all the time. I really didn't get what he was talking about.

 

Tires could be out-of-round, but that's rare these days apparently. "... some guy at the shop ..." is an idiot. How many miles? 60K+, it's probably time for shocks/struts. Struts are harder to change, but 'twere I you, I would take it to someone who can spell "truck".

 

Agree^^^

 

LOL haha ya I know what you mean I bought shocks today but the bottom bolt on the shock wont come out it must be rusted in.my truck has a 100k on it.all I have is an electric impact .any trick to getting the bolt out?

 

Front strut or rear shock? If it's the strut - STOP! It under tremendous tension and will hurt you bad if it isn't restrained. Rear shock - PB Blaster and time.

 

BFH and PB Blaster.

 

my truck doesn't have struts it has shocks I tried pb blaster it still wont come out crazy huh.
