How to stiffen suspension/stop swaying?

[ak_yukon]

Are the bump stops in good shape? It’s common for those to deteriorate and that makes it feel floaty.

Clarified as the front jounce stops; they should be in good shape and in contact with the lower control arms at ride height.

Thanks to everyone who replied. I will get new shocks. Should I go Bilstein or KYB?

Also, all of my bump stops are chewed through. I will order some right now

Either the KYB, the ones I went with recently, or the Bilstein shocks are a safe choice.

I went with these KYB shocks:

It shows the same for my 2005 Z71 and your 2004 LT but make sure the RPO code exceptions that are listed are checked.

Check the sway bar mounting bushings and end link bushings. If they're original then probably shot.

Agreed with @PNW VietVet

KYB Gas-A-Just is a great choice, you probably need to replace rear coils with Z71 version, my car feels much better after replacing stock Autoride coils with Moog 81069 set.

My car also had this really annoying sway after I purchase it.
So as I replaced almost everything in steering and suspension in few days and this problem disappear - hard to say what was the main reason of that swaying, but it was more like (70-90%) front shocks.

I am chomping at the bit for those front and rear Hellwig kits I ordered.

Technically, Ron, you should "champ" at that bit, unless you're real hungry. LOL

 

[OR VietVet]

Technically you are right but I couldn't think of another way to say it. I want those ******* kits here now ******** It!

Anyone got links on any deals?
