suspension

[Plopper]

The people i bought my 93 phoon from said it MIGHT need suspension soon. It has the stock suspension. What do you all think? How much will the parts and install cost?

Re: suspension

How many miles are on the truck? How does it feel? Is the tire wear even?

How long SHOULD the stock suspension last?

I would guess about 100,000 miles if you never hit anything hard. My truck has about 65,000 but a racoon at about 65mph really screwed mine up.

Re: suspension

From what I have seen the stock front suspension is pretty shot at 75K miles, 50-60K is probably a good time to rebuild it.

Re: suspension

my truck went 136K with factory suspension and was still going strong... minus a broken torsion bar mount that I decided was "justification" for coilovers...
