Hi Bill,
Sorry I'm so late to come back to the party...real busy keeping the kids
busy after they're out of school. Anyway, I figured it was a shock issue
with my Durango. I didn't know if that was bump steer though. I thought if
I got some adjustable shocks, maybe I could increase the rebound force so
that the shock pushes the wheel/tire back down to the pavement faster. No?

Damn, Bill, now what newsreader are you using that you got that message that
was started 3 weeks ago, and now you get another message and instantly know
about it? I'm using Outlook Express, and I just downloaded Thunderbird
which I'm still trying to figger out. Does the one you use give you a
"you've got mail" type message, or do you have to go and check manually like
I do?

thread, descending: http://www.----------.com/temp/usenetNews.jpg It
will automatically open to the oldest tread replying to me.
