I agree, if you don't know what your doing you can do more harm than help.

I think maybe your loose feeling could be body mounts. You know, more and
more people drive old cars and wonder why they seem to have such a loose
sound and feel. The body mounts dry rot (rubber mounts between body and
frame) and they contact metal to metal or just stiffen up because of age.
Maybe this is where the problem lies?
