    I'm going to have to try this when I get the time. I have a sneaky suspicion that mine are on their way out. I have 177k miles on it. Had pep boys quote me and they wanted over a Grand! :eek: F that shit!

    I may have a similar issue. Not sure. My tires feel very bouncy. Almost like they r over inflated. But they r at 35psi which is their max recommended (Michelin ltx m/s 265). I thought the new front susp. Would fix it but not really. Now im hoping maybe in a few k miles it will settle? Its like I can feel every crack and pebble in the road. Multiple bumps really upsets the whole chassis.

    If 35psi is max pressure I would drop them to 32psi and see if it's better. Just my 0.02

    update: installed my 5100s today after work and the looseness is all gone.

    I lowered my air pressure from 35 to 32. it helped a bit with small pot holes and railroad tracks. But i still had a bit of bounciness. turned out my driver side inner and outer tie-rods were shot. I've only drive 5 miles now but it feels a bit better. I'll have to see.
