Ok, so here is the whole story.
Bought truck and it had a wobble on the steering wheel at about 30-45mph. PO said it was a bearing. I have done the following because I wanted to know i was starting fresh and everything looked original. So I figured it was.time to do anyway:
Knuckle rebuilds
3" ome lift
Slee caster plates
Alignment
Tire balance
U joints front shaft
Rotation of tires
Tie rod ends
Steering stabilizer
And still have the wobble on my steering wheel but now it does it at 0-30mph and no long at 30-45mph.
I removed the front drive shaft with my CDL switch on and the wobble disappeared.
I am.going.to take the drive shaft to get balanced tomorrow, and see if that helps.
I am lost with this. I come from having only IFS chevy and I am stumped with this straight axle stuff.
The angle on the axle is 3.5° and at the transfer case is 2.5°. The drive shaft is 6.9°. Not sure if that will help with any.
The steering wheel goes from 12oclock being center between 10 and 1 o'clock.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
