We have an 85 and 87Vanagon.  Used to have a 72 Westy.  It seems that each
newer Van has a poorer ride!  The 87 is a "Westburg" and rides terrible
compared to the 85.  We changed the shocks to KBs then to OEM shocks with no
improvement.  Can we change the springs?  Would this help?  It seems that
the shocks work, that is we don't bounce, but the bumps in Chicagoland
winter roads jarr your teath and rattle your head - in short its darned
unpleasant.  Any ideas, could it be the springs?
