Bilstein shocks and Michelin tires Date: Sat, 6 May 2006 15:28:59 -0400 From: neil <goofymuso@YAHOO.CA> Subject: Cross winds and shock absorbers Hi all. Searched archives and found lots re: tires and cross winds. But..... Has anyone experienced that upgrading to better than stock or replacing worn out shocks helps the Brick deal with cross winds better? A recent trip back (north) along hwy. 101 was quite windy, and crossing bridge from Astoria OR to WA state, was, well *%$# scary! And FWIW, I have new "Nexen" LT tires, front end is ok and has stock sway bar. Thanks!
