OK, it seems enough of you guys bend and/or break your tierods you must know how to adjust them. Basically I hung my front passenger tire up on a log 1+ years ago, and ever since then the truck pulls to the right (i.e. I have turn wheel to the left to go straight). I recently replaced my tires, but since I didn't schedule a front end alignment, they could do one when I got the tires.
Anyway, the tires were the original Firestones with close to 64K miles on them (about 30K since I "bent" the front end). They didn't really show any unusal wear on them so I'm thinking I can simply adjust the passenger side tierod to pull the wheel back in a bit.
Looking at the tierods, it appears that I'll have to pop one end lose to be able to turn them.... is this correct? On my old truck I was able to adjust them without removing anything, so I'm hoping the same is true for the new style.
BTW is a 2001, 2500HD (sorry its a 6.0, not a 6.6
)
Thanks
