Hi everyone,
We ended up selling the Sequoia, but just got new Bilsteins put in just before the sale. Stock height on 265/70R17s. 2007.
The original shocks were blown out, or at least one was. So very bouncy ride over bumps. I was hearing a lot of people say that with the Bilsteins, the ride was rather transformed. While the bounciness was gone, I did not find that to be the case. Feels not terribly planted. Not like in any off way, but almost like the chassis is generally flexy and vague. Our 80 series feels much nicer on the road.
Is this the nature of the beast? If I could feel a particular slop or something I could attribute it to that, but nothing seems "wrong" with it, just that maybe it's the nature of the vehicle. Not sure if they vary at all year by year or not.
Thanks!
