Before you go upgrading anything make sure your bushings, shocks, and transmission mount are all good first, chances are one of these is weakening if it was never an issue before. If those are all good I'd do a tubular torque arm next, followed by LCAs. (I stretched the bolt holes in my stock torque arm so that can even be a wear part with enough power).Last edited by JoeliusZ28; August 17th, 2014, 08:55 PM.-Joel

ok. I had already put in the lca's from the 98, they were in better shape than the 94's. I am not thrilled with the shocks so they may be next. The right rear has a tendency to flutter over small bumps. everything elsse is in good shape so thats where I will start.Last edited by zeeman; August 18th, 2014, 05:20 PM.Comment

Like a funny car. Not enough wheel speed= wheel hopComment

Funny? Funny how? Funny like a clown? Like Im here to amuse yous?
My brother says it looks like the road had something to do with it. The concrete is broken and uneven. The first bounce happens after the right wheel hit about a 3 inch ledge which launchedtit up in the air. This is where things went bad. He says he can see the bouncing in the marks on the road.
I will have to test this theory with additional Smokey burnouts!Comment

Road surface can definitely be a factor in finding the weakest link of a suspension system.-Joel

Looks like everything is good. I did some burn...... extensive testing, and everything reacted normally even with warmed tires. Had to be the road.Comment
