Quick back story, I bought this new in 09. Traded in 11. Another local businessman bought it and had it for 10 years. I told him I wanted it back when he was done with it. I bought it back in 21. Unfortunately his hunting camp was down some washboard clay road and beat the shit out of it but thats ok because I'm slowly restoring it. But the ride seems rough, too rough. Even on slightly shity pavement I don't like it.
I have replaced front struts, rear springs, sway bar bushings and links, rear shocks, new tires, tie rod ends. I haven't done any control arm bushings because the ball joints are all good right now but I really don't think that's it. I think its the body mount bushings are shot from the age and wear. This XFE was more of a street car and the terrain he drove on plus street suspensions mighta done a number on them. Has any one changed them and how was your results?
