I couldn't figure it out for the longest damn time until I crawled under the bitch and started wrenching on shit. It turned out to be the upper control arm bolt. It had made its way loose just a bit. So I tightened it back down, checked all the other bolts and made any needed adjustments, put the car down, and went out trying to make her hop around. <br /><br />Problem 100% solved <img border="0" alt="[Whoo Whooooo!]" title="" src="graemlins/woowoo.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
