Message: [QUOTE="lincolnlocker, post: 1407765, member: 944"] ok, so ill admit i get paranoid about chit on my truck. for whatever reason i thought chit was loose in the steering linkage, i was wrong.. it is still tight. i compared it to the only superduty in our fleet that just had all that stuff replaced and its the same.. although I did have some movement at the trac rod ball joint so just to be sure i took it to a shop that works on our big trucks(log trucks) and does d.o.t. inspections for us.. the trac rod bushing at the frame was moving a good 1/8 inch and when we pulled it off, i could move the ball joint around and in ine spot it felt like it could have just fell out so that got replaced along with the trac bar and bushing.. that took care of the bad wobble inwas getting but i can still feel the bent rim/bad tire like i have had for a while now.. i run my tire pressure so that they wear evenly across the tread and i noticed that the fronts are not as stiff as they used to be and have a low pressure bulge on the bottom so i aired them back up today to get rid of the low tire pressure scenario because the shop i took it to said that it can very well amplify the bad tire/rim. ill report back later to see if it changed any.. my tires are 35-12.5r18s and only call for 65lbs but i have always ran 48psi in the front and 38psi in the rear to make them wear evenly.. so now i have 54 in the front and 44 in the rears. hopefully they will still wear ok and not take the center lugs out so quickly but i may not have a choice if that truly does help the tire/rim issue.. live life full throttle god bless america and the farmer who feeds your fat ass [/QUOTE]
