Hey guys, I’m new here, Thanks for any advice given.
my problem started with the dreaded death wobble. After weeks of research I gathered the parts for the T style steering upgrade and new oe track bar. The install went off without a hitch, everything fit like a glove. After driving it for a month or so I began to notice a slight pull to the right While driving on the highway and around town. Turned out I had a wheel bearing trying to lay down on me. So, I changed that, but the pull was still there. Drove it for another week or so then while walking out to the truck on a job site I happened to notice the right side was toed out while the left was dead on. I’m no alignment specialist but I know whats right and wrong. Got it home and after a late night of laying under the truck and attempting to adjust it in I found that the tie rod was adjusted all the way in and won‘t allow any further adjustment. So, now I’m questioning the T style upgrade. It’s almost like the tie rod is too long. I have taken it to a shop that I trust wholeheartedly to have it aligned. They told me the entire front end is loose and needs the whole nine yards, ball joints, track bar, tie rods, drag link. The truck does have a lift or leveling kit on it.
