    Free Play in Front Suspension?????
    « on: March 26, 2014 - 09:32:54 PM »
    I went to jack up my cuda last night, and I noticed that I have some free play in my recently rebuilt front suspension.

    By free play I mean that I am able to move the front end up with very little if any resistance about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch.

    Is this normal....or do I have a problem.    :bigsmile:

     :clueless: So you're saying you can walk up to the front of your car and lift the front bumper up with very little if any resistance about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch ?

    Why wouldn't that be possible ? :dunno:

    Could be a bad shock , shocks control  the movement , some shocks move easily for a short distance & tighten if they move rapidly or extended distance
