Just had some work done and noticed it pulls on the thruway especially after bumps or potholes.
Ball Joints - upper and lower
Ball joint spacer
tie rods- inner and outer
Bearings done last year
Upper A-arms from AC- lifted
CV's are good
GRASSroots CL - new bearings
AC steering brace with new bandit bushings
Stabilizer/ Damper is 6 yrs old.
I read a bunch on Alignments and have no idea what they did but the tires look more straight and perfect than ever.
I did lift the truck to match the rear lift so its probably at full 3" lift in the front. Had a shop do the ball joints, tie rods and align. what should i ask them or have them look at since i think it drove better before with 160,000 mile original ball joints? I know the answer....... "its lifted higher so it drives worse". Looking for some advice.
Also, I asked when i picked it up but the lower ball joint upper nut (the big one) seemed to be tightened all the way but had about 1/8" under the bottom of the nut between it and the lower control arm. I could see the splines in the press in ball joint. I remember the old ones almost touched or did touch? Should that gap be there? I thought that nut pulled the ball joint into place?
Thanks everyone.
