Hello all. first time ford truck owner.
my truck 1993 f250 xl extended cab. 302 5.0
2 wheel drive.
its not brand new but its new to me.
just put 30 day tag on it. working the kinks out of it.
sat on four flats for a year.
previos owner said it devloped a shimmy vibration at various speeds.
he couldnt keep it on the road at 65 mph on the highway.
so im working on that just put 4 shock on it nothing fancy autozone stuff
just put on inner and outer tie rods on front. still vibratees but not as often changing brakes right now found out top driver side balljoint is a little loose.

hoping new balljoints upper and lower both sides should fix it, any suggestion would be appreciated.

p.s body and frame are in good condtion infact the factory undercoating is just now peeling off in some areas some off in others ares, minor rust on outside bed by tire. and its got a rebuilt 91 302ho engine with just over 100,000 or so on rebuilt. rebuilt in 99 no docs to prove it but i got the truck from a friend who bought the truck from his boss at the time it was tookin care of well older feller it did a lot of towing a 16 ft trailer
i paid 250 bucks for it could pass on it. now giving it the tlc it needs so bad before it starts going bad. sorry for the long intro thanks
no pic yet sorry.

Hello and Welcome!

Sounds like you have a project and that is a good thing. For tech help on your truck just click on the Forums tab at the upper left and find your year of truck. Post in there as often as you want and I think you will find a lot of help and support. I also commend the Ohio chapter to you since you find friends and support there. Here's the link: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum91/

Good luck with your truck!
