Ford didn't -bother- (thank you Ford! ) to putĪll we can do is make suggestions for where and how to check out your pickup, you are the In the Ford Integral power steering gear. If youĬan -see- the lost motion we are talking about a lot of slop! :) BTDT. Helper rock the steering wheel and you -feel- each joint for motion (= lost motion). Loose steering parts and just grabbing the top checks the wheel bearings and ball joints orīut the best way to find loose parts in the steering (other than loose kingpins) is to have a Grabbing the wheel front and rear and moving it that way works on little cars to test for I ended up having to keep it, it's now out there on a pallet. Wow they sure make flimsy wheels huh? ) They got it both ways tho. PepBoys left me hanging, had to call the wheel outfit myself and they blamed it on PepBoysīending it somehow. IME about one out of three or four steel wheels is too crooked (from the factory) to use! :/ĭiscount Tire worked with me and took back the one crooked wheel I got from them and Kingpins are just one little part of the whole thing.Īre they brand new steel wheels or alloy wheels? If you want it to drive real nice and smooth at high speed everything needs to be 'right'. we recently put on some take off's on the car to get rid of the worn bald tires. the wobble will increase from what it has to it already. maybe a pitman arm that has bad splines to it. i doubt the steering box would give you any wobbling those. the steering box can be worn some and either need adjusting or rebuilt.

also radius arm bushings could be worn or loose. from there it would move to check the king pins fo rwear. kind of a long shot but some one could have bent it at some time in its life. anything that goes around :ie tires rims wheel bearings races drum or disc hub. since the king pin is the only thing there at that point that can be checked by pushing and pulling the hub in and out.įor a wobble while you are driving. i had to assume he meant steering linkages and up from there. I am unsure what alvin meant by every other part. Have that many miles on them and I'd greased 'em every 3000 miles figured, they'd be better )ĭo yourself a favor take the knuckles off, clean 'em up and take them to the machine shopĪnd get new king pins and brass bushings.īought an axle at the junkyard once (after an accident) and since my new kingpins didn't A single new part can stop it but doesn't reallyĪnyway, here's your chance to keep from getting it for a long time.

IMO, I figure death wobble to more of an accumulation of looseness fromĪll the parts together than a single part. The 'top and bottom rocking' test didn't show any real looseness yet I had 'death I figure it was the end-play that was mostly causing my 'death There's end play involved too see? And figuring that one out is tricky with all that dangged starting in elementary school I've been contrary as anything. :/Īlmost no one will agree with me and almost everyone will agree with what you posted! :) I know that's the 'common knowledge' way to do it but IME it doesn't work very good. The bottom and push and pull to see if there is any movement. Grab a hold of the tire with one hand on the top and one hand on
