Thanks for the help with my suspension!!

Once again, the advice of the board has been spot on.
Last year before putting the SL into storage for the winter, I noticed that the front air dam was hitting the road when pulling out of the parking lot.
The advice of the board was to replace the shocks and while I was at it to replace the steering shock and the front shock top monts.
I picked up the car today with new shocks on all fours and the other items replaced the car drives like it never has since I have owned it.
I also just put new rubber on all four corners, but man what a change!!

Thanks as always to those of you who gave me some great (as always) advice....

Matt

Did you get the car aligned? Might as well balance all four tires while you at it.

You will now have a tuned suspension. Congrats!
