Hi, I am new to the forum and had a question regarding a readylift 2.5" level kit I recently installed on my 07 F150 XLT 4x4. The instalation went good but the problem came on the way to get an alignment. Everytime I would take a right hand corner, not a sharp turn but more of a graduale corner doin about 30+mph, the wheel would start shaking perfusivley. I figured getting the alignment would fix this problem. What did make sense is after I got the alignment, the problem switched to only when I took left corners. I have talked to my local mechanic and couldnt tell if anything was wrong by just looking but is going to look more into it. Anyone have any ideas of what the problem could be?

 

My only guess would be bad ball joints that didn't show up til you put the level on. The higher angle with the level kit was enough to make it show it's ugly head. IDK, but that'd be my first guess.

The thing that confuses me is after I got the alignment, the problem switched from only happenin when taking right corners to happening when taking left corners. But thanks for the advice.

 

Man, that sounds freaky...I probably wouldn't drive it until you figured it out. Things to consider would be ball joints and your tie rod ends. I would also double check to see if everything was buttoned up properly: spindle nuts, lug nuts, etc. Maybe you got a pinched brake line which is causing one of your calipers to lock up. Weird issue...I never heard of this type of problem which leads me to believe that something was not installed, or re-installed properly.

 

I ended up figuring out the problem. It was a bad ball joint that needed to be replaced. Thanks for the help guys.

 

Glad you got it sorted out. Glad we could help too. This is a great online community.
