Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Not today but on this past Thursday I reclocked the front coil spring on the passenger side of my C10. A little over a year ago I had a local shop replace my lower control arms with some new aftermarket ones. They didn't quite get the afore mentioned coil spring quite right. One of the coils on the spring was interfering with the crossmember. I drove it like that and one day while on an extremely rough patch of road the coil spring shifted. It constantly squeaked on rough roads. I finally had enough of the squeaking and shabby handling of the front end so I undid the suspension on that side and repositioned the spring correctly.

Wow, what a difference. Now the truck handles and drives so much better. I wish now that I wouldn't have waited so long to correct it.
