steering and alignment help???
steering and alignment help???
I replaced both inner tie rod ends, stabilizer links, passenger lower ball joint the other day. All was fine until yesterday I came to a stop and the steering wheel went way off center and passenger tire went really toe out. I just hit the brakes and it all of a sudden jerked to the right. I readjusted the right inner tie rod end just to get it home. ( only a mile from home) It feels like it is bouncing all over the road. I am going to get back under it tomorrow, but I have no idea what it is. Everything I did looks fine except the fact I now have that tie rod end turned way in. It drove perfect for about 200 miles until it did this. It is a 97 4x4 offroad All stock Any help would be appreciated. I have to get this thing on the road by monday.
umm heres a question .... did u go to an alignment shop? if not i hope u realize that specs are with in .o1 of an inchno eyeballing it will get it right. also if u hit the brakes and thats when it darted i would look in to the brakes more then anything. could be a sticking slider could be pinched lines, leaking line.
I planned on getting it aligned but if I can help I won't have the garage fix this problem. I've replaced the same parts many times on all different vehicles. I know to have an alignment done afterwards. I just can't figure out what happend. It literally made the passenger tire toe out bad, but the tie rod end never moved it was still at my mark on the threads. It can't be the brakes, it would've still pulled to the right when I brought it home. The steering wheel is now 90 degrees off center. I can't think of what could have caused that without the obvious things loostening up or breaking
