I'm Awesome
Hi everyone. So during the past 4.5 years of owning my truck, I’ve replaced everything front to back mechanically. BUT, I bought it with a 6 inch lift already installed. Everything else was a disaster. My most recent experience was replacing/rebuilding my 10 bolt rear end to a 14 bolt with locker in December 2022.
Keeping that in mind, while I’m driving every day, it pulls to the right. Looking at the truck, body lines and frame look straight. I’ve replaced and thought of everything in the front end. When I did the rear end, there was no change. I’ve just dealt with it. Basically I’m correcting the truck from going to the right by turning the steering wheel to the left a bit. I believe they call this crabbing? So I’m to the point where I’m sick of it, so I’m staring at my truck and I’m just finally noticing that my rear passenger wheel looks kicked forward a bit. I look at the other side, it’s normal. Front wheels, normal. I’m looking at the leaf spring on that pass side, frame looks straight. I did the shackle last year and I really had to pull hard on the leaf spring hard just to make it straight and go into the rear hanger.
When i did my rear end, nothing was broke. But the leaf spring on that side looks a little twisted, like the pack isn’t all straight. My question is would the leaf springs or front bushings cause my truck to pull to the right while correcting it to the left? It’s not bad bad, but let go of the wheel and it goes right immediately. I’ve dealt it for a long time now it’s time to make it right.
