look into replacing suspension components. End Links, Sway Bar bushings, ball-joints and etc. It will tighten up your front end and if you have never changed them ,it's good to do.
Make sure there isn't any play in the u-joints. Also I like to make sure I don't have the slightest oil leak. Any leak and I try to tackle it right away. Many try to just live with the leak, but you will keep the engine going longer if it is clean and taken care of.

I definitely agree. Sway bar bushings and my sway bar end links had a pretty big effect in making the suspension tighter. I got a little less body roll in turns and it didn't feel horribly bouncy. Then again, changing the shocks probably helped that too...

Agreed. If an oil pan gasket is starting to crap out, it isn't going to stop itself. Well it may, until you run sea foam and it loosens up the sludge. Then the problem will be worse.

If you were using it because it was still a GL4 lube in like a tcase or something, Coastal and Supertech both put out good products that are yellow metaks safe.
