Hence me asking, the blisteins arnt much more, I was just seeing my options.

Prob gonna go with poly bushing in the front suspension while I'm there?

Good luck with that! They suckkkk to put in and still ride like poo. Jjust save up for tubular lowers later on.

So put rubber bushings back in and not poly?

And I have to get the car drivable again, I've got a real bad twitch under breaking and when the crown of the road is exaggerated both ways, the car trys to put its self in the ditch lol

thats typical of these cars. try getting it aligned with the wider fronts on it. mine always pulls on crowns too. its what they do with 275's up front.

I'm talking rip the steering wheel out of my hands if im not holding onto it tight. it following the crown is one thing, im talking it will turn the wheel like 1/3 a turn and try and put me into a ditch lol

and I don't have 275 up front, I still have stock wheels in the front lol

yeah then get it aligned. and does it always pull to one side? check the pad slides. make sure the knickle isnt worn and the brakes are working properly.

i JUST got an alignment done when i replaced tie rod ends, ill take it back and have him check it again, but i can hear the clunks and clicks from front suspension lol and breaks are fine, which is why im pretty sure ball joints and bushing will fix it. ill take a video if i can soon of how bad its

and no, some times it will track stright as an arrow and break stright, other times ill step on the breaks and will pull hard left or right, other times ill be coasting and will pull hard left or right, its a real fast hard twitch /pull but goes away as soon as the suspension settles again.

Not to my knowledge, Surprisingly my lt1 hasnt been leaking much lately haha

I'm prob gonna start with bushing, and ball joints on both sides and see if that helps, they need to be replaces anywho and make a shit ton of noise over bumpy roads lol Hopeing that fixes the steering problem
