Stuart Giles,
your description is exactly what mine is doing. as i suspected, i must have worn spring pin / bushings. thanks a ton for your help.
Builder,
it "looked" like the fneder and hood were shifting, but more like something was loose in the suspension, like the worn bushings and pins.
squeeze,
yea, must be them ford parts. LOL.
thanks for the input guys.
since my wallet is pretty thin these days, its gonna have to stay this way for a while. when i do get the cash i think i will spring for some new leafs and bushings and pins.
is there a chance the pins could snap on my while driving, causing the whole front end to drop out ?
thanks again guys.
