i think might have bent a tie rod this afternoon but i am not too sure. i have sleeves on oreder from ppe but might not have come soon enough. what happened is i went to launch my truck in 4wd. i didnt built much boost at all because i was aware of this problem but maybe not carefull enough. when i let out of the brake the truck got into a crazy side to side hop. i emediately let out but maybe not soon enough. now the steering wheel is off center to the right and it pulls like crazy and wonders a fair bit. i had a look at the front end and can't really see anything wrong. would you be able to tell by just looking at them or no? the only thing i can see is that when the steering wheel is centered the pitman and idler arms are still to the left a fair bit. any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

so i ended up crushing the joint of the right side inner tie rod... pushed the ball and socket towards te center of the truck. but lukily one came into work yesterday needin 2 lower ball joints and the left inner... the service manaer ended up selling him the right side inner as well while we were in there anyways... so his right side was still good... looks like i got lucky this time with a free fix.

nice, upgrade the tie rods to some HD units next time :)

should... and was thinking about it... but already ordered sleeves for the stock ones... or will the sleeves fit the HD tie rods too?

can you post a pic of the damage?

i will try to tonight... you can't really tell by looking at it other than the boot is pretty crushed... ill try to rip the boot off and have a look. i also think i did something to the pitman arm because it has lots of play too

Please try I want to see what it looks like.
