Bushings and vehicle weight
Hi Guys
The truck’s an 03 1500 4x4 ST regular cab.
I changed the shocks recently but still experiencing excessive banging - especially in the front end - when hitting even the smallest of holes or speed bumps. I even decided to reduce air pressure in the tires a bit to soften the blow to the chassis.
I’m pretty sure that most or all of the bushings will need to be changed. Question: Which bushings carry the most vehicle weight? the lower control arms? something else?
Any thoughts and ideas will be most welcome.
Thanks!
