So I took her on her maiden voyage to the county dump and I was kind of scared. The steering seems slack especially when turning right.
I have issues with my brakes that I am working out to, so I am not sure if it is related to the spongy brake situation. (Problem happens when the brakes aren't being pressed though).
Since I am new to trucks, I was wondering if tie rod ends are like a cars. Can I simply jack the front wheels up one at a time and attempt to move the tire side to side?
If so, I have never seen play like this before. I am talking like 1 inch play in each direction.
If it could be tie rod ends, is it usually the outers that go bad and is it common for them to go bad on these trucks?
Is it a difficult job and can I count the turns to avoid an alignment?
Thanks for all!
