Dodge Dakota Handling

Jul 11, 2005 3 Replies

The 2002 Dakota has a hell of a bounce in the backend when going over potholes or bad roadways. Almost lost control today on a highway doing 60 MPH. I hit a bad stretch of road. Is this normal? I have an open bed no cap. Is there something that can be done to lesson the bounce?



Thanks


Change the shocks. Let some air out of the tires. Put some weight in the back.

Yep, let some air out of the tires. I have a fiberglass cap on a 6' bed. With 32psi in the rear tires the hopping stooped and the tires wear even.
