Check those springs. I have a friend who "cleaned his spring dead". While detailing his car he sprayed a caustic solution on spring while cleaning aluminum suspention pieces. It was not funny then, but we laugh hard now! :rofl:

Definately sounds like a bad spring. The spring on the Z52 suspension is the same as the base FE1 spring so it should be easy to find.

If you need a spring and buy a used one, code NYU is z-51 (h/d) NYR is base ans z-52 spring hope this helps. :chevy
