BAD BOUNCE

[bobby6319]

my front end bounces at 65 mph I put shocks on and that helped a little is this common with the single spring behind the axel or do i have a nother problem. I will tell you my spring is off of some sort of trailer and has some spring wrap. I think the spring is to light what do you guy's think

is it a bounce or a Death Wobble?

I would say a bounce because i don't feel it in the steering wheel

Hydraulic or Friction shocks? Rims and tires, are they round and balanced?

3/16th toe in is a bit much, but that will not cause bounce, out of balance most likely... plus, trailer springs are for trailers, not T Buckets unless you want it to ride like a buckboard...

i used what i had and if it don't i will try something else but you won't now untill you try. I had the tires balanced today one was 3 ounce out and one was .50 but it still bounces. I am going to order the proper spring from speedway and go ahead and add a panhard bar since i have all the stuff to build it anyway.I'll let you know if i get it fixed. Thanks
