High mileage suspension/steering refresh.

i doubt the ball joint boots are the problem. i drove on a busted ball joint gushing with grease and it felt the same as when i got a new one

How can you drive on a busted ball joint?

maybe the joint was fine but the boot was ripped

Hope so. Let's see what he says.

Now if anyone can point me in the direction of front Autoride shocks that are not $300 a piece, I would greatly appreciated it.

Thank you. Are the 1500 and 2500 ones interchangeable? The fitment guide on the link you provided only list 1500 series.

eww, IDK MAN. I thought that I was searching 2500 at the time. I dropped the ball

why not correct it instead of breaking my balls then.

That wouldn't have been as fun. Plus more work. I'm lazy.

Update: I still haven’t replaced any parts yet, but I did find out the bolts on my rear shocks were somehow loose on both sides. Tightened them up, and all my clunking is now gone! Who would’ve thought lol?

That being said, I still plan on replacing my suspension/steering components, because I want a factory fresh ride quality.

Question: Can I install aftermarket keys to level it out, and still run my 4600’s, or do I have to install a set of 5100’s to do this safely? I did notice that my driver side sits lower than my passenger side. Do the torsion bars actually go bad?
