My passenger side A arm keeps "flopping" in for lack of a better word. The top of the tire comes in about 2 inches or so and im wearing out tires. I take it to the same alignment shop every time. We have replaced the steereing damper and the steering pieces that go out in these trucks with a lift. The alignment guy tightened the crap out of it this last time and now the rubber bushings seem to be shot and im getting a wobble on deceleration coming off of the freeway. Kinda like when a draglink goes out on a dodge. Any fixes or ideas? Kinda kickin around a D60 swap or fabtech coilover lift but those are a ways off and i work out of this truck every day. Oh yea it has 82000 miles.

thanks for any help
Dustin

I hate to tell you but this is one of the joy's of owning a full drop style lift.

yeah kinda my thoughts that why im considering a D60 swap. Im off road everyday in some pretty rough terrain and about 100 mile roundtrip on the hwy, so i would like it not to vibrate my teeth out.

thanks again

You're living the dream...............well mine at least ;)

I bought a few trucks second hand out of the oil fields down there. One was called "Stallion Oil Field", you know of it?

Oh yeah Ive heard of stallion, Its a pretty damn good life. I own about 50 wells around the borger area and ill be growing over the years. I left my dads oil business of 10 years to go it on my own, its workin out so far. I just hope obama doesnt sink me. And yeah we have streets named after Randy Matson, oh and Giant pics in the high school hallways.

later guys
