    Well I am doing all the fluids including trans....and I decided to crank my t-bar and well there are 2 things that I found. #1 the drivers side was almost all the way in and the passenger side had tons of thread showing...don't know if I can achieve any leveling....if not what is my next option....I am assuming that I need to replace all the suspension bushings and ball joints.

    #2 relates to my assumption above...the front end is exceedingly bouncy....just using my hands...I have new shocks that I have not put on, but I am assuming that I need to do all the suspension bushings and ball joints....I know ball joints will not help this issue that much but they are clunking a bit when I check them.

    Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

    "the drivers side was almost all the way in and the passenger side had tons of thread showing"
