Built Ford Tough

 

riiiiiiiiight riiiiight

 

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

 

I hit a bump too

 

What the hell did you hit?

 

a Honda

 

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

 

by rock you really mean.... that "SMART CAR" that got in your way? lol

 

What can I say, sometimes when I'm stuck in traffic I just get a need to take one out , damn them and their mpg

 

I hit a big bump one time too!

 

yeap i know. sometimes when im offroading i see one so i gun it for him and when im about to crush it i see alot of water and me going WAY to fast... thats the TRUE story of how my engine blew a few weeks ago! hahaha

true story... its documented

 

and this is what i ended up doing... for those who havent seen it yet.

 

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

 

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



^^^ engine crossmember

 

Def get a pic. haha...


where do I go about tightening this steering shaft up at? I'll get video of it tomorrow with its play
