Is the bracket angle correctable without replacing the spring? Seems like I’d need new springs to push that angle out.

Copy, thanks

I had the bearings replaced about 1 year ago. Side note, the aftermarket damper that I just replaced was a “return to center” & had weird mounting ( you can see the mount in the pic). What do you mean by “bottom end further out”?

My truck is spring under axle & my shims are oriented as you said “fat to front”. I think they’re steel but not sure now. There aren’t shims with the rear springs. My drive shaft is at 10 degrees and the u-joints are good to go, from what I can tell, not loose/no play. I tried to figure out my...

Yeah I’m thinking of that too. There is a lift installed, +3” I think. Shims are there but I have no way of knowing if they were installed properly without getting more mechanic eyes on. After balancing & alignment I put on an OME damper & that is at least masking the problem. The shocks need to...

Yeah the exhaust seemed pretty wonky to me too. But this guy used to be a Toyota tech & also spent time in Japanese Toyota factories, at least he wasn’t trying to charge me, he just admitted that couldn’t ID the problem

Yeah least invasive/expensive was the route I started on. The OME damper wasn’t expensive & that is at least helping.

Hey Kevin sorry I dropped off there for a bit. My truck is back on it’s feet, though not 100%. I went over all the suspension components & couldn’t find anything same as the 2 mechanics that had a look. Spent a lot of hours on YouTube & everything I saw said it’s never the steering damper. So...

I saw this on Ft Belvoir today in case there’s anyone looking.

I’ve also got videos trying to capture the wobble from multiple angles but I guess I can only upload photos. From what I can see n the videos it looks like something with the drive shaft or transfer case. My mechanic has seen the videos & still thinks it’s an exhaust problem. No play at the...

I’ve got problems to say the least! My ride’s got a violent wobble that starts around 30-40 mph, usually when going downhill, & especially if I hit bump ( man hole cover) in the road. My last couple posts were about a potential exhaust problem diagnosed by my mechanic (he’s not 100% sure). He...

I’ll look into that also, much appreciate.

Thanks! Yeah it’s automatic, no cable lockers. Pretty sure it used to have a stock/ built in winch. No winch anymore but it has the control/lever to the left of my gear shift. Eventually I’ll see about adding that. I tried to look at the club by-laws but that page was blank, so other than...
