<VV> front spoilers

[mhicks130 at cox.net]

I run 20 front, 30 rear.  All the bushings in my front suspension are new (ish - couple of years old)., the pitman arm bushing is nylon.  The severity changes when the top is down versus up (less wondering top down) so I'm really thinking it's aerodynamics at work here.

I'll be installing soon (this week hopefully) and I will report on any changes I experience. I do know our old 66 4-door with a stock front spoiler didn't blow around much.
