Default 80 Headlights shake

The headlights on my 80 shake when I hit bumps. I checked when they were fully up & I have about a 1/4" of play up & down. Is this a simple bushing replace issue I hope ?

Probably even simpler. Each headlight has a stop bar along the side of the headlight. Make sure they are adjusted to contact the bump stops on each side of the assembly and your headlight shake will go away.

And you could also install a rubber cap on that adjustor, same as your hood stop has. T

Hi,
The bumper that terry68 describes also stops the headlights from making a banging sound when the open.
