Steering Issues
that said I am having a difficult time beliving those are new ball joints from your pics.
This is pretty convincing evidence to contrary of their claim.
anyhow, At least it is handeling to your liking, I’d be interested to see a pic of the specs from the first alignment and the current alignment.
Sooooooo, hows this for a further update. Remember I said steering never felt right? Well, today coming in to town doing about 40 miles per hour, experienced the worst death wobble that I can’t even begin to explain. If I was doing 70 mph, I seriously doubt that I could have controlled it. Long story short, I recently I had the steering gear replaced due to the up and down movement involving the pitman arm. Upon examination it looked like more of the gear was exposed so I assumed it failed. Not to mention both front tires were pointed toward each other.
Towed to shop on a rollback. Once there, while still on the truck mechanic found the driver side tie rod snapped. SNAPPED! I knew something was never right. This was the noise that no one could find! Play in it till it broke. Now here is my question..,, what could have been “binding” to cause this? Is this a weakness in the excursion? With all this work it never steered or handled the way it did when I bought it and drive it home. Was told that maybe front end was so wore out initially that with new stuff that it would normally be stiffer,
