Well it appears the springs were not the issue. $600 bucks plus labor later (Ouch!!!) I'm still trying to figure out what's up. So here's what I do know. The initial problem: The front end was bottoming out on a simple washboard road. The spring bumpers seemed to always sit on or close to the bottom...

Thanks Jim. I have the tool so hopefully all will go well (and fast) while in the shop tomorrow. I'm looking forward to not riding on the bumper stops anymore.

Quick question. I'm having the front springs replaced tomorrow and was wondering if there is a true top and bottom? I realize the springs are tapered but does it matter which direction they go in?

Thanks
Tod

Thank's for the thoughts guys. I think I'll proceed down the road that "krick3tt" recommended. Seems pretty simple and it's nice to know that it's working for someone. I have an old 240Z that I've always used "on the car balancing" for the front two tires and it works great - no ...

Just a quick question. Has anyone tried "on the truck" tire balancing. I know a few of these older machines exsist, where they can spin the tire on the car or truck. Can anyone think of any negatives in terms of balancing the pinz tires using this method?

Thanks Tod
