THE BLUE BIRD BOUNCE

RE: THE BLUE BIRD BOUNCE
David ,

The sway bar has been removed and the new Koni shocks installed . Now it was only a 60 mile test ride, and the Roads of the North remain , but so far I am very happy with the results . she rides much softer . With the sway bar you could feel every bump in the road . You could feel a pebble , no lie she was stiff.
Now ,I actually stopped to check the air pressure in the front tires . hahaha

Thank s for the giving me the extra push I needed to remove what looks to be a vital piece of equipment. Imagine telling a alignment specialist to remove suspension parts ? I was surprised when Barry stated I was the first one who ever asked him to remove that bar . I must tell you I was a bit concerned . But now Iam around 100 lbs lighter and gliding down the road, as this Bus was designed .

I have owned this BB since Oct and have put 35 k miles on her and I must say , she is much more comfortable to drive so far . By end of June I expect to have 1500 more miles on her without the sway Bar . At that time I will report back on whether I want a stiffer tight ride or a smooth loose ride .

The Koni's are a full turn from stiff for now, so I guess I could play with that part of the ride over the summer . I f I would have read your thought s prior to having the work done ??

The cost to remove the sway bar was 200 dollars , to me well worth every penny . Thanks again for your help David .
