front tires drag and feel binded when turning
I just replaced a bunch of parts in the front end (inner/outer tie rod, adjusting sleves, idler arm, wheel bearings) and before i did this the truck was out of alignment and now that ive replaced these parts when I turn it feels like the tires are sliding and binding like theyre fighting eachother, any help is greatly appreciated, and this is a 2wd truck not 4wd

Re: front tires drag and feel binded when turning
Did you have it realigned at a shop after installing all the new parts?

Re: front tires drag and feel binded when turning
You installed the steering cross link upside down. How do I know? We did the same thing. That long bar that connects the two sides... flip it.

Re: front tires drag and feel binded when turning
i thought i may have done that before i installed it but when i flipped it the studs wouldnt go through the center link because the holes are tapered, unless im misunderstanding you

Re: front tires drag and feel binded when turning
Are the tie rods centered/ straight when the wheel is straight? I bet they are angled right now.
