DAMN STEERING!!!!!!

[SC REBEL]

Yesterday while i was driving back from having my 3in lift spindles and new shocks on, My steering started getting a little weird, and im not talking about alignment weird because i know i have to do that too once i get my new tires on, next thing i know the steering went crazy and the wheels were turning side to side on their own. it stopped after i pulled off the road... i have a feeling it could be loose tie rods, but honestly i dont know alot about that stuff, soooo any help? im taking it to get aligned tomorrow...

Replace the rag joint before you get it aligned, too.

idt that is the problem but i will check it out anyway...

sounds like you experienced "death wobble".....This condition happens when you have several worn suspension parts, but mainly the pitman/idler arms are the culprits...Also, warped front brake rotors can severely magnify this condition...Check all your steering parts for looseness/wear...

My idler arm and tie rods ends needed replacing so I replaced them but before it shook bad..................

DAMMNNNITTT!!! I couldnt even drive the truck 2 miles down the road to the shop because of this problem. everything was fine before the suspension was put on. this is really getting on my nerves... its ridiculous!

Blown shocks? I ran my land rover without a front passenger shock for 3 months after I put my suspension lift on, it had some pretty serious death wobble problems.

I hope that the shocks arent blown, because i just put brand new rancho shocks on the fit my lift.

Don't know much about 4X4 suspension, but don't you guys run steering stabilizers with larger than stock tires?
