front end

My 04' F-350 seems to have something wrong with the front end. It feels like something is about to come through the floor board. I have been under my truck tugging and pulling on everything, and can't find the problem. While driving down the road, it doesn't pull either way. I have noticed on the front right side, I do have some wierd tire wear. It's not consistantly wearing around the tire, just in different spots on the inside. Also, how can I improve fuel mileage? Any suggestions?

worn out front end. Try jacking up the front end and wiggle the tire back and forth. Up and down notice any extra play. Something is worn out and it should be too hard to figure out like this. Oh and welcome to FTE. His is a great place to find info on your truck. Look around a little check the tech folder it has a lot of good info in it.

Don't forget to check the often overlooked radius arm bushings. They can thunk quite loudly while not causing the steering to pull.
