jack the front end up

check the balljoints.. tie rods.. have someone get in the truck and turn the wheel while you watch the idler arm pitman arm etc. etc.

or take it to have an alignment and tell them to check over it before they do it

After coming up over a ridge, I came down on top of a rock (couldn't see a damn thing, obviously), wasn't a pleasant sound to hear, but nothing got damaged and I'm pleased to know my skid plate works like a champ :beers:

is the steering shaft sopposed to have play in it? I was doing my manifold today and shook the shaft that has the ruber boot and it has 1/2 in of play in it. Steering wheel itself is tight and steering reacts just fine

Patman 08-13-2008 08:45 PM

Nope, should be tight. you're probably looking at a set of tie rods, and pitman arm

Oh i thought of you today too (totally straight way i promise) I saw a place in north austin and it has a big sign that says CTC, i dunno what its actually called but ill take pics next time im out that way.

ive hit bumps too, but that may or may not be b.c im lowered
