If you look at the post below you will see that this has been a long drawn out problem. I discovered there were 2 nuts missing on the front of my right knuckle which caused the wheel hub to be out of alignment with the knuckle. Someone left them off a year ago in a shop 1,000 miles away when they put the BJs in. I almost started replacing parts but discovered it when my right hub wouldn't go back on after greasing it.

dang man! Thanks for the update, and glad you never were in an accident because of that!

 

Nothing's ever the same when you're missing a couple of nuts. Just ask my dog.

 

now i want to check to see if mine are there, where are these on the truck?
thanks

 

On the back side of the wheel/bearing hub should be 4 bolts that hold the hub to the steering knuckle. Torque should be 55 ft-lbs.

 

I just checked... my nuts are still there!

 

Oh lord, our minds are securely in the gutter. I am glad to hear the darting problem is solved though.
