Alright so I've got a 2008 f150 4 door 4x4 with a 6" rcx lift on 35x12.50x18s I've already had the power steering pump replaced once now its got an issue where the steering almost seems loose when I turn on a dirt road or anything like that it seems like the wheels shake. The steering wheel shakes and I can hear clunking noises its also got more play in the steering wheel than it used to. Just wondering if yall had any ideas

Thanks yall

 

wheel bearings ??
just replaced my passenger side bearing do to excessive play, first noticed problem driving down a rocky/dirt road (trail head) down from one of the 14,000 foot rockie mountains
heard a clunking noise and felt a vibration in the steering wheel, checking things out this weekend and found excess tire movement. she's tight now......

 

Ill check it out thanks for the feedback

 

Anybody got a thread on replacing wheel bearings on this model truck?

 

did you find any problems yet??

there are some good how to video's on youtube, that's where I found it.


it's pretty simple, after removing the break caliper and caliper bracket and remove the rotor, then remove the center (spline shaft) nut then remove the 4 bolts holding the wheel bearing assembly, it will slide off toward you.
I greased the inside of the iwe hub, light coat of grease on the axle before sliding on new bearing assem. put the bolts back in, put nut on re-assemble breaks - done. took about 30 min

oh ya- new hub comes with new abs sensor also, napa $269

 

Thanks, also figured out the left tie Rod end was bad. .. not sure if that's all of the problem though

also hearing a scraping noise from the left rear brake caliper sounds like a rock or something is stuck in it. Any ideas?

 

Left tie rod end went bad. Getting it fixed soon hopefully that fixes the problem...also have something scratching up the rear brake disk and it's really noisy thinking its a rock or something stuck in the brake pads. Any other ideas?
