I haven't detected any problems with handling or travel. I wonder if all your new parts and bushings and cushions may have just pushed things slightly out of reach. A ratchet strap might pull things together enough to install them. 1950 Chevrolet 3100 (Ol' Roy) 1939 Packard Standard Eight Coupe (The Phantom) \| 1956 Cadillac Coupe de Ville (The Bismarck) \| 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 coupe \|1966 Ford Mustang (Little Red) \| 1969 Pontiac GTO (The Dishpit) I 1979 Ford F-100 \| 1976 Ford F-150 (Big Red) \| 1995 Ford F-150 (Newt)
