Ok so my truck just recently started doing this. When i stop at a stop sign and turn/take offit kinds feels like my truck wants to keep steering after i straighten the wheels back up. almost feels like the tires are wobbling, but i had it jacked up and tried shaking the tire... they are tight. uhhh they are also wearing way bad on the outsides of the tires. i know i should take it to a alinment shop but im a find out what it is first kinda guy

ohh i forgot to add it started doing this right after i had it jambed in sum sticky @$$ mud

you need to check the tie rod ends and the rest of the front end for play

could you have some mud still stuck somwhere around the hubs or brakes? if the wheels shaking you could have mud stuck to the inside of the rim and throwing the balence out?

You didn't happen to fasten the tow strap to your tie-rods, or center link, did you? Sounds like you have a serious "Toe In" issue. Do you smell burning rubber when you're driving 30 to 40mph? If you do, then it's time to see your alignment shop. NOW. Don't drive it until you can "see" the air in your tires.

Check your alignment shims in your upper control arms. I had the same problem with my 78 the shims would fall out and I the wheel would move froward and back when braking and turning from a stop. This would also wear out the outside of your tires. I would also get a clunk noise while braking.

no i hooked the chain to the front leafs. and no i do not smell burning rubber. dont get any clunking sounds. i did however find out the drag link feels loose i grabbed a hold of it and twisted... how much should i be able to twist that thing?

TireSmoke420 · 09-09-2008, 07:33 PM
