    Wow

    Anyone ever driven a wagon on 14in cheapo tires and no sway bar bushings? It's scary!

    Now that I've added sway bar bushings, it goes around corners on it's rocker panels rather than doors.

        did the steering valve have a mind of it's own?

            My Lincoln had busted endlinks, so effectively no bar up front, dead shocks, dead steering parts, and smooth 15" tires. Yeah it handed spectacularly.

              You didn't have 32" fronts and 33" rears tho - my truck is like a freakin boat, rides real smooth and comfy until I decide to turn On the good side if I keep the wheel straight I can be going through monster holes and chatter bumps at near freeway speeds and it keeps tracking straight as an arrow, not so much with the new E350 vans - the 2008 one I drove yesterday to the Romeo proving grounds wasn't all that bad (maybe due to the huge weight, it was an extended 1-ton), but the 2009 one shortie I picked from there to drive back - only time the damn thing tracked straight was for about a mile where the road has been recently resurfaced, everywhere else it tried to follow every single groove in the road drifting all over the lane, had to fight the wheel all the time. And yes, those trucks have swaybars, both front and rear, pretty massive too - hell if I know what their problem is, but I'm really inclined to blame it on the springs.
