77 front end help.

Alright j bought this 77 gmc and its front end is a mess. The passenger front wheel moves along with the rotor and the caliper. The other problem I'm having is it doesn't turn for crap, and when I turn to the right the drag link pushes the pitman arm and the steering gearbox and frame up and tilts the whole driver side up.

Re: 77 front end help.

is the frame cracked at the steering box?

I'm not really understanding all of your problems. but I would start with the steering gear, then check your linkages to the knuckles, then check the control arm bushings and ball joints. last check your wheel bearings.

by check I mean service them as well. you may have some old parts that are failing causing the you issues. you could have several parts causing one issue.
