hi back again with a couple more issues i need help solving.
my truck need alot of help and i have a number of questions, this time suspention and steering problems.
the runner has 4 inch lift but i know nothing about the lifted of suspension and am unsure bout what has been done and what should also have been done. i feel like there has been a few shortcuts taken. whoever built it is shonky as!!!
here are some pics of the setup. let me know if you need more pics of anything.
i think body may have shifted off the blocks a lil????
looks loose????
my rear end feels like it all over the place, on inspection i found the rear axle had twisted and shifted slightly due to loose nuts on the u shackle going around the axle.
also the a couple leafs had started to twist and were no longer lines up str8. i tapped the leafs back into alignment and tried to hit the axle/shackle back into position with no luck. I'm guessing i need to loosen off both sides to realign in right???
Whats the best way to realign the axle to the right position?
Do i need to take weight off entire car (hoist or stands) or just jack the rear up?
could the problems with rear suspension due to me installing a tow bar and towing a boat alot?
ok next problem, have snapped a front sway bar bolt off in the chassis and noticed their is no rear sway bar.
is their suppose to be 1 on the rear?
my runnerit is a fight to drive. very difficult to hold in a str8 line.
seems to be alot of play in the steering.
think my steering and suspension problems are a bit of a snow ball effect.
i found basically all the tie rod ends, pitman arm bush etc. are all flogged out and need replacing ( parts are in the mail )
are there any other steering components i should look at as well? ie steering column, knuckle or greesing?
pics dont show how badly they are split
but here
swaybar bushes look like they seen better days also
final question for this post
what is this rubber stopper? and why is it destroyed by upper control arm.
other side isnt even touching it???
i will leave it at that for this post, their will be more posts to come for more problems lol.
all info knowledge and help appreciated
thanks jay
