1979 Sportsman Suspension Kit
Hi:
Does anyone make a front suspension kit for this particular van? I'm actually looking for a rebuild kit for the front end on a Jamboree Rallye RV, 18 foot based on the '79 Sportsman chassis. The steering and straight-ahead ride on this vehicle is pretty sloppy. I replaced the steering column coupler already, which helped quite a bit. However, driving down the road is still a thrill-a-minute - tends to wander more than I like, and corrective action takes a little too much time to take effect. Sometimes the vehicle just darts to one side or the other, and going around curves is always fun
I rebuilt the front-end on my Mustang and replaced the bushings with polyurethane, and that really helped. Is there any such kit for the '79 Sportsman? Thanks for any info!

In an answer to my own question, one place to look is: www.p-s-t.com They have polyurethane (or polygraphite) kits for this particular van. I'll still have to go to other sources for other parts, if necessary, but here's a link others might be able to use.
