Hey guys, was hoping get some advice.
Couple months back i noticed my driver rear shock was making some noise. I assumed it was shot and needs replacing.. then it kind went away and i thought i could stretch it a bit. But now I'm noticing mild vibrations above 40mph (only under power). Since I've owned my 98 i know the leaf springs have been sagging a bit over time. And now i feel like my u-joints are going. So, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing the sagging of the leaf springs and degradation of the shock cased the rear axle to lift and apply pressure on the u-joints to cause them to fail?
Im looking to replace the shocks, leaf-springs and u-joins. Am i overlooking something? I feel like this had a cascade effect and I'm not 100% sure it may affect something else.
Thoughts?
