wobble from wheels when turned was created by rs200boy
bit of a wierd one possibly lol


when front wheels are both jacked up and free in the straight ahead position there is no side to side wobble or play in the both wheels

however if i turn the wheels either left or right a little just off straight position and check for play theres play at both sides same amount each side almost feels like a track rod ends away but checking out the track rod ends they seem to be fine (also checked with bar etc ) is this normal ?? :huh:

its already had both front cv joints and both front king pin bushes and gaskets both sides

Hi :) I have the same problem you are having when the wheels are turned there is a lot of movement side to side but not when straight, so me and some pals have put it down to the steering box is warn. Have some one grip the steering wheel so it does not move in a straight line and try to move the wheels side to side you should have a slight movement there now just turn the steering wheel a turn and grip the steering wheel then try move the wheel side to side ( I have a lot of movement from my wheels side to side when I have turned the steering ) so there for we think the steering box is warn and this is all done with the truck on a ramp. I am changing the steering box next week so i will let you know what the out come is. My truck starts the death wobble around the 30 to 45 mph and only down hill when I have hit a pot hole :( You can move the wheel from side to side and
