I drove up to Mudrak last night so my buddy could pick up his 40.
While I was up there and talking to Gary about putting a set of original steelies + EMU on there I had him take a look at my steering slop.
Took him about 0.1 seconds to conclude I need to rebuild the center arm.
Luckily he had the kits there, so i picked one up. Parts seems straight forward enough. Reading around It seems like people have had difficulties rebuilding these, is it that difficult?
If I follow the instructions at:
Center Arm Rebuild
I should be in good shape right?
I work on my truck all the time and rebuild motorcycles, so I am a comfortable wrench, just want to make sure I am not going to jack up the steering so bad I need to tow it across town to have it fixed.
While I was there we also chatted about the shackle lift on the truck making the steering sloppy at speed, Gary pointed out the pitch of my wheels, which is low ( as a result of a shackle lift to make room for the 32" tires on there) I had never heard this before, makes sense.
Thanks, in advance for any advice.
