new bars at the dealer are $200 and up a piece.

No way I'd give that kinda cash for them.

if you had smrr1's truck you would! lol

yes sir. thanks. list is over 300 a bar but i got a hook up and paid right at 200. made one hell of a difference. rides like a new one. now if i could just get it to go straight!!!

the tech that changed the bars said there was almost no tension on the factory passenger bar so i'd say it was worth while and i strongly believe in doing to both sides as you do to one.

yepperz. It would centr up nicely fer a few miles then start pulling again. Ive tried toe in, toe out, and all in-between. Prolly some ball joint/control arm issue. Ball joints are new but the Idler/pitman arms are due.

very similar issue here. not always that bad. very hit and miss. probably an issue for 60% of the time.

Yeah. Mines not bad, just irritatin. It doesn't pull enough to be dangerous or wear the tires. Until I get new idler/pitman, I'm just gonna live with it.

i think i will check out a private shop that has been recommended to me by a long time friend and mechanic. long time open shop that deals with a lot of 4x4 and lifted/modified susp. trucks. have them check out all the front end stuff and fix any issues then align and enjoy.

Sounds good. If it works out lemme know who they are and if they're close. I'm in the N-ATX area.

 

[smrr1]

in the pflugerville/round rock area. i will let ya know. my buddy knows how detail oriented i am so if he suggests them they should be good!

Cool.
