Uhh,
Since when does Dodge have suspension bushes in the front end? They are the
only truck that still uses a straight axle on a 4x4 3/4 ton... Uppy and
lowey ball joints are found on the pivots... NOT bushes. Granted, the susp.
arms have bushes, but I'd be willing to bet the front end is COMPLTELY SHOT
on those trucks. We are not talking about a 1 ounce shake here - I suspect
if a professional mechanic advises to remove a vehicle from the road, it is
not merely a technicality, but major front end wear. Been there, seen that.
Land-Rovers? Shake after a bump? I have been behind the wheel of some pretty
worn out trucks and equipment, I must say that there is no vehicle on the
planet that I feel has a stronger front end on it than a rover. Besides,
this only reaffirms the obvious - there is no other vehicle that allows you
to laugh at ANY truck owner than a L-R. It's the real thing.
