The handling of our '04 D2 is getting noticeably awkward. The rear axle seems to be moving around laterally too much. Time for maintenance.
I would suspect the bushings have had it. Would you guys recommend replacing all of them:
- Rear panhard bar (first)
- trailing arms
Or just the panhard bar?
Standard Genuine replacements or polys?
Also the up/down suspension travel appears to be undamped and is mushy. A couple of people in the back seat and the tail drops an inch or so. I have had Bilsteins on since 4K miles. Should I replace the rear springs and shocks? How long have the rear springs lasted for you?
The truck has 121K miles and is used for mostly street driving these days. My 16 year old will be driving it as well and need the handling to be predictable.
