A lot of it has to do with the wide tires we run.

I know my allignment is right on, but with the F1's it pulls a little to the left. When I run the skinnier tires on the front it tracks perfectlly straight.

 

Why do you guys have to make this so hard? My old school way was to have the cam kit installed,align the front end and TACK WELD the drivers side lower A frame bolt washer to the A frame. All you have to do is scrape off the frame wax where you want to weld the washer. have a 99L and had the clunk. This was done in 2000 and the truck is still in alignment with NO Clunk. If the alignment goes out all you do is cut the weld re-align it and tack it again. You don,t need washers!!!!

 

 

Uh, let me go down in my basement and grab my tack welder. Oh wait I don't have one

Bolts are much easier and easily reversed, I have wrenches, no welder though

 

I have the DL stainless steel washers!!!!!!!!!!! They are quality pieces and I havent had any clunking since then. Weld on the truck?? Thats ghetto ****. I would do it right and get the washers. DL's washers wont rust like the "other" ones on the market Email him @ dplynn1@bellsouth.net

 

 

 

Why would you need a welder? The alignment shop has the welder and the guy who did my alignment did the welding.

 

Why in the hell would you weld on a 30k truck?? Thats redneck ****

 

Let me know if that washer helps you out-- I might have an issue as well, but my "old skool" alignment shop that has been open ever since Las Vegas was built, tells me I might have a bad tire. I will try a rotation tomorrow and let you know. I have had bad tires before on other vehicles that made it pull....

I might as well just get the washers anyways because there is the clunk.....

 

Have it your way. All I know is that it works!!! You are only talking about two small beads of weld.

 

So do they all cost $30 for a set of washers? Seems a bit high...

If anyone knows a cheaper price they can IM me at the same name, or email me at skater1035@aol.com

I don't know why they call it a clunk, its more like a creak....

Whatever is causing my alignment though needs to be fixed. This is the second time its been so bad it yanks me into the left hand lane if I let go of the wheel for a second.

You think 30 is high? Try buying Herbs for 50 or whatever he sells them for now

 

Jon;
You might also have the other clunk or creak problem.Try greasing yor steering stops. This noise usually happens when making a sharp left or right turn while going up or down an incline surface. I also had this problem and it stopped when I greased the stops.

I have tack welded 2 99's and my current 01...as redneck **** as it may seem ..I have never had to align one again..and my tires last alot longer than your's I have 69000 on it now but I used the brass tacks this time.....now go by some washers...

maybe you are thinkin' of a bailing wire feed welder....
