Wheel Problem

Hey guys,

I'm new here. I just purchased a 96 F250 FWD. It seems like a great truck so far. I noticed the other day when my son moved it out of the driveway that the front tires go extremely out of wack when backing and turning, is this normal? It didnt look right to me. I jacked it up and tried to move the wheels around, inspected every thing and all seems tight. The Leaf springs are staight, no downward curve. Can any one give some insight to this problem? Can you refer me to a picture or exploded view? Maybe there is a stabilizer missing.

Thanks in advance.

RS

This is pretty normal for a TTB truck when backing up.

^^what he said.

Im hoping you meant to type 4WD and not FWD for your F250

To tighten things up a bit you can replace all the bushings and it'll help alot but just by desgin it move a bit.

Pretty much normal, if you don't find anything loose just don't look at it after backing up!!
