Koni FSD Shocks

[HANK]

MY 90SP36 HAS A HECK OF A BOUNCE IN THE FRONT...DRIVING INTO NEW ORLEANS FROM
THE EAST ON I-10 A FEW YEARS AGO GOT MY ATTENTION ABOUT THE
BOUNCE.................ONLY 42,000 MILES ON IT. OTHERWISE THE RIDE IS
WONDERFUL............WOULD THESE KONI FSD'S SOLVE THIS FRONT BOUNCE?
REGARDS,
