PBR unplugged
...alrighty. I through a bone out there a week or so about the "rearend twerk'n", however i think i have ANOTHER issue, that may couple that one. I found myself "white knuckling" lately while in dogleg lefts/rights on the freeways. After i posted the "WAIT FOR IT" thread, it damn nearly knocked me back. I think myself, maybe thats what im experiencing. So, Tuesday, lift hood and slap a crowfoot and allen socket onto the "tensioner bolt" on the steering box, give it a few turns, tighten ur up, and closed the hood. UNBELIEVABLY, it was a night/day differnce, but there still a sliiiiggghhhtttt wobble/buck to her.....anyhow, was thinking of installing a stabilizer to ur. Now, mind you, i have 2wd, and this is i found just now, and was a great thread..Here ya go, DAWG...(parts will be ordered shortly)https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...2wd-exc-2.html

Tim you're killing me here LOL I have no idea what you mean by "PBR Unplugged"
Momma said I wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed but for the life of me I have no idea what that means? Please explain
I still haven't gotten around to get the parts to do the steering stabilizer. But it is on my wish list.

You turned the steering box allen screw a "few turns"? Should never go more that 1/4 turn at a time at most! There is a compression sleeve in there that can be crushed very easily. At that point it is new steering box time. Ask me how I know.

From the tightening of the bolt/screw/allen...whatever its called, it seemed to have "tamed the bull"..
I've read threads about tightening too far, and lets say, its something i wouldnt wish upon the worse enemy. I also have read a few where they went as far as 3 full turns, and til now, was the 2nd best thing done since slice bread. I know i went ATMOST 1/2-3/4 of a full turn. No funny noises, no binding feeling...etc. I'm gunna roll with it and hope for it to work, and pray it does not let go at thee worst possible time
