Subject: Cross winds and shock absorbers

Hi all.

Searched archives and found lots re: tires and cross
winds. But.....

Has anyone experienced that upgrading to better than
stock or replacing worn out shocks helps the Brick
deal with cross winds better?

A recent trip back (north) along hwy. 101 was quite
windy, and crossing bridge from Astoria OR to WA
state, was, well *%$# scary! And FWIW, I have new
"Nexen" LT tires, front end is ok and has stock sway
bar.

Thanks!

Neil Nicholson.
