73-87 Chevy _ GMC Trucks > Brakes, Frame, Steering & Suspension
Why does my truck handle like a 2CV?
JohnnyPopper:
I think they change with the weight rating.
The '80 C10 I'm working on did not have one. I think 1/2 ton used a 1" diameter bar.
I saw a C20 at the truck recycle place I get parts from that had one. I bought it, and it is 1.25", heavy bar.
They had to cut the brackets off the frame, I bought Energy Bushings.
Maybe someone here know if the factory welded the frame brackets or were they just bolted on. ??

Riveted but grade 3/8" bolts work great

Definitely do the dry park check and then check with the front end jacked up. X2 on the Bilsteins and Sway bar

OK Guys, thanks for the pointers, had a good check around and no sway bar fitted, bushes aren't too bad but might change them anyway as they're not bad for price. Had a good check all round the frame for cracks round the steering box but all good there.
Looks like new bushes and a sway bar first and see how things are after that, control arms are drilled for the mounts not sure about the frame will have to take another look.
Thanks Graham
