Re: Death Wobble After Ball Joint Swap
I must live in the black hole of alignments. The closest Les Schwab is in Bakersfield, and all the PepBoys in th area say their computers don't go back far enough to align this truck. They all refer me to the place that quoted $160.
BUT, I had a friend turn the steering wheel back and forth while I looked for play in the steering, and I'm pretty sure the steering box needs replaced. I have a power box for it, but that will have to wait till after the first of the year. In the meantime, tomorrow after work, I hope to set the toe, and hopefully it will get a bit better. At this point, under about 50 mph is ok, but over and it gets shakey.
After I do the power steering, I'll take it to the place in Fullerton and spend the $95.
