i just got my upper and lower ball joints replaced, and installed a bd diesel steering stabilizer bar..but when i get around 60, the steering is wierd..when i hit a bump the truck just pulls so hard! what the heck is going wrong...i feel like im gonna roll my truck one of these days!! any ideas?

 

Try checking the track bar. Have somebody turn the wheel back and forth while you look for movement. Good luck

 

ill have to check that out..thanks

 

The advantage of havin a home town boy on here. Get a hold of me and bring it by the barn sometime and we can check out the whole front end.

Read through this thread and it will tell ya all the problems associated with the front end. https://www.dieselbombers.com/5-9l-2...d-rebuild.html

 

Check the alignment if it is perfectly straight your truck will hop around like that the alignment should be towed in a 1/4 of an inch or so.

 

how many miles are on the shocks,just from experience when i rebiult mine the whole frount end was gone upper lower ball joints,tie rod ends, 1 hub bearing assembly, track bar, and shocks, is your tires seam like they are skipping across bumps,then the wheel wanders. hope this helps .check ever thing.

 

i wish i had time to bring it to ya..but im leaving for basic training next sunday..where are you located bud??

 

i had the same problem... always wondered why the guy had low tire pressure in front tires to keep it from jerkin from side to side, so i basically did a completely new front end on it steering was loose as **** hope you get it fixed

 

Got a farm just about 10 miles out a town in Cantrall. Just hollar when you get home then.
