Let me begin by saying I have searched all threads for alignment related issues (and while i loved every minute of learning a lot about these trucks - what I refer to as important research when my wife asks me what the heck I'm doing) I could find nothing that made clear the reason for the way my cruiser handles.
Purchased this rig two months ago with 160k mi and a decent amount of maint records. The truck feels very "wallowy"? At highway speeds, it doesnt so much dart side to side as it does like a boat would when you are passing through waves near parellel, but not quite. It handles like it would if you were constantly rocking the steering wheel, constantly correcting and the front end rocking like the shocks are shot. My wife drove it and said it's hard to drive in a straight line. In the wind, it's a hazard.
Tires are near new so they dont show any unusual wear.
Replaced the worn oem shocks last week w/ Bilstein HD's
TRE's 'appear' to be fine (how would I know?)
Slight movement of the steering wheel does move the wheels
Thank you, in-advance for insight into what causes this! Also, if you can recommend a reputable alignment shop in Denver, I'd appreciate that too!
