I have a question which I think is shock related. I was looking at replacing the left A Arm bushings and removed them but then decided they weren't that bad so put them back on. I had a little trouble with the ride height but finally solved that issue. Note that at some times the shock was extended VERY far when things were apart. I have noticed a substantial firmness in the left front wheel when going over speed bumps. I determined this by driving over the speed bumps with only one tire at a time. The right front which was not disturbed seems like it always did...the left front is substantially stiffer and seems to firmly land on the downside of speedbumps. Have I somehow affected the shock? Or, is this related to a torsion bar issue? Note the ride height is dead on what it needs to be.
Thanks
