    Front End/Steering slop sources

    I would love to have either the Thuren's or Carli ball joints. I think they're both quality products. I would also consider the rebuildable ones that Genos sells.

    Front End/Steering slop sources

    Glad to hear you got your clunk fixed! I think I had a similar issue, didn't get mine torqued enough initially but found it later. My truck still has vague steering. Each thing I am replacing is making it better, but definitely still has some slop. I'm planning on getting Thuren's upper and...

    I went with the Borgeson shaft, and it made a marked improvement. Once i got the factory steering shaft out I was able to see and feel a little play in it's u-joints, which I'm sure is magnified by the time it translates into the front end/steering. I painted the Borgeson before I installed...

    Front End/Steering slop sources

    @Topzide I did do all the Thuren measurements when I installed the trackbar, honestly can't remember if I had them align it to Thuren's specs... but that is important and I can get that taken care of. @mpaulson that's a good call on checking the steering box bolt torque, pitman arm and steering...

    Front End/Steering slop sources

    Hey guys, I have a 2013 2500 4x4 and I've been chasing looseness in the steering. So far I've replaced the track bar with a solid Thuren unit, did a full Moog replacement on the entire tie rod assembly, replaced both front wheel bearings and u-joints, replaced steering stabilizer and also...

    '03 - 268k miles - what kind of maintenance recommended at high miles?

    Oops, forgot to mention I did put Bilsteins on it. Belt and pulleys are good, Cerberusiam, I think you're right about the rear end ratio. Also forgot I did have the front upper and lower ball joints done, and had the outer u-joints replaced at the same time. Just also re-did sway bar end...

    '03 - 268k miles - what kind of maintenance recommended at high miles?

    Hey guys, My '03 is getting up there in miles, 268k, and other than regular oil and filter changes, fuel filter changes, differential and transmission servicing, my truck has never really missed a beat. I have put in new brakes, batteries and I did replace the water...
