Default Used 04 trailblazer

Hi all new to forums and have my first delema. Got a 07 sportsman the other day, went for a cpl rides then took wife with and after dbl ridding both of us decided to get another wheeler for her lol. So went and got her a used 04 trailblazer (her first fig good one). Well after logging almost 200 miles on them in diff things trails ditch pits and the alike. The wife started stating what she did and did not like about her machine, and as far as I can tell (from what info I can get out of her lol) she is having real bad bump steer. I checked shocks and they seem so so so stiff it is unreal, front ones that is. Any info on how to lesen her bump steer. Any info or ideas wld be great! Thx in advance.

That's good.

I know I can stand on the bumper of our 03 and the shocks will compress. Not like they bottom out, but they do give.

Can you look at the strut towers and see scratches or grooves in them?

The rods that go into shocks are clean and shiny looking. I jsut took for another spin and I love the quad its so light and snappy lol and fun as he^& to ride. the shocks just seem so stiff, is there a softer spring for the front or sumpin on those lines?

I don't think there are any aftermarket suspension parts for it that wouldn't be really cost inhibitive.
