Matt,
An easy check for shocks, Stand the vehicle on a hard flat surface ( driveway etc) ensure it's in park, somewhere on either the left or right get a good grasp of the vehicle and start to rock from side to side (left to right or vise versa ) get a good rockup on the vehicle and then let go and stand back. The vehicle should come to an almost immediate halt. i.e. bounce bounce stop.
Now if the vehicle is hard to rock and has very little give the shockies my be too stiff, if the vehicle rocks excessivly easily and keeps doing so after letting go the shockies are possibly shot.
There is a special machine that witll test the rebound of shocks, I guess a good suspension place over there may have one.
"Starting about 6 months ago, my suspension was doing the creaking thing real bad. Took it into the dealer, they claim to have added spacers or whatever, and the noise went away for the most part. A short time later, I started to notice HORRIBLE ride quality on the truck!!!
This I think is partly the key, how was the ride immediatly after the "spacer" bit? How long was a "short time"
The problem, from my best description is that the car acts like a super sensitive teeter-totter. If I hit a bump on the road... (even the size of a penny on the ground) the front suspension reacts, followed by the rear, and it just continues to keep bouncing. Now, this isn't a big long bounce, it is like a real short and tight bouce, and it is so tight that it keeps going... When I drive around, if no one is in the front seat, I can watch that thing shake to the point that I dont understand how it is still attached.
This almost sounds like your getting Harmonics being setup, is this a front back pitch or a sideways roll? Does it get faster or is the rythem the same?
Let me know.
