Steps to improve sidekick 94 suspension - zukitrek - 02-24-2015
Hello to all
I've been getting my 94 sidekick in optimal running conditions doing everything from ignition system components, to timing belt replacement and everything in between.
Now the time has come for improving my suspension. In the past year what Ive done so far is changed rear shocks and in the front both tied rods for each side, stab bar bushings and links. She improved a lot but it doesnt feel like she is quite there. What else can be done to get her to like new condition in that area, if possible.
Thanks!!

some odd handling symptoms. yes, ? at what speeds,
what size tires.

She had them but it was because I had not balanced the wheels. I did this saturday and the problem went away. She handles pretty well at all speeds, the faster the better. Some roads here don't help at all, but even without that she feels kind of bumpy instead of absorbing the road damage in a smoother way. Fronts struts are original so I don't know if there is a test to know if its time for a replacements. Tires are 205/70R15.

just bounce 1 time each front corner at bumper, no repeat bounces allowed (dampeners inside bad)
