driveline issue two
 
what would cause my passenger side tire to sick out more than the driver side tire

Are you sure the trruck isnt sitting on and angle or something i would measure from outside of the frame to the middle or the tire on both sides and that will tell the tail.

hm...mine does the same thing but since I have put a new adjustable track bar (I put a leveling kit on it) and adjusted that properly its not as bad. I still got to get it aligned and what not, so hopefully that will take care of the rest the difference.

it does need aligned but the front end was all redone. i did measure it and its off. you can tell it buy just looking at it

What was done to the front end when it was redone?

Yea, I was out that way for a few of my science class labs, great area out there man. Do you have a lift of any kind on your truck? I take back that its not as bad, after driving it a while (I just put it on Thursday) and getting it adjusted right the tires stick out the same.

no lift, it had new wheel bearings ball joints. are these trucks made like this or is it and alinement issues

Well, IMO this is one area where dodge failed :dang:. On these trucks there is no idler arm, so all the stress that is put on the steering components from driving is supported by the steering box. Also, the tracking bar is only an eyelet on one end (passenger side), and a ball joint on the other end, which gets worn out and contributes to the death wobble. After 300,000 miles and a few run-ins with the death wobble, I took the bullet and got it all taken care of....1100 bucks later and it now steers and drives like a dream :rocking:.

do you think this will fix it if i put new track bars on it

12Vdodge 01-24-2010 03:57 PM

well all I can say is that a new track bar fixed it for me, but I have a leveling kit on it so I would need a new, adjustable track bar to take into account the slight lift. Before you decide on whether or not to buy a new track bar, (which is going to be around 315.00 for the track bar and 185.00 for the relocation bracket, I went with Source Automotive who treated me really well and was knowledgeable over the phone) locate and familiarize your self with the track bar. I could tell mine was shot by watching the ball joint on the driverside while someone was inside the cab, moving the steering wheel side to side, with the truck running of course. The track bar would seperate from the frame, and it looked like it was going to pop off even though the nut on the bolt was tight. This was my experience, so hopefully some guys can chime in and confirm my statements.
