Well, went out and drove Duster later. Handles so much better. Also doesn't have that floating feeling in the front now...
Promising feedback here! I'm glad to hear that this is working for you.
...Did have a thunk and a creaking noise from each side once, but never heard them again...
If the thunks and the creaks kept going, I'd suggest that you post up a picture so we could make sure you weren't accidentally driving a Chevy.
