Vibration in steering wheel
My 73 F100 has had a vibration in the steering wheel ever since I had it. I was wondering if its normal to feel some vibrations in the wheel since this truck has manual steering?
This vibration has been the same with 2 sets of wheels and tires so I have ruled that out.
I need to have the front end aligned it pulls to the left some. Passenger side tie rod is worn out with alot of slack....I just bought a new one aint got it on yet.
Rotor on driver side was shot when I got it. Replaced with a new one and new bearings. Everything was good on passenger side so I left it alone. New front brakes and calipers on both sides. New brake lines on both sides. Entire brake system has been flushed with new brake fluid.
With the front jacked up...hit the brakes....then get out and turn each wheel...both turn easy so brakes aren't dragging.
I can't feel anything abnormal when I turn the wheel or looseness. I did get the cheapest bearings the parts store had for the driver side....I know all that stuff is made in china maybe something about them ain't exactly right? Thinking about replacing bearings/races again to see.
Or maybe the loose tie rod and needing alignment is causing it?
