To my way of thinking, there is aboslutely no reason to "improve" the front suspension of an AD truck. The design is exactly what can be found on any highway truck tractor sold today. That ought to tell you something: These are trucks. Designed to work by carrying loads. The front suspension and steering design has not changed fundamentally in more then half a century. This truck [IMG]http://thumb11.webshots.net/t/68/68/8/1/44/2630801440096215731MfacAU_th.jpg[/IMG] and this one [IMG]http://thumb11.webshots.net/t/59/159/6/3/70/2055603700096215731hyMaxM_th.jpg[/IMG] and even this one [IMG]http://thumb11.webshots.net/t/24/665/1/7/37/2512107370096215731tcDQku_th.jpg[/IMG] have the same components, in spite of 20 years' difference in their age. That ought to tell you everything you need to know about "improving" your front end.

Shop Jim Carter or wherever you find replacement parts, and keep grease in 'em, and they will outlast you.
