Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Bad Feeling....

[JGamble]

Hey all,



I took out the sled today to get some holiday cheer, when taking a right hand corner, I experienced the truck not wanting to freely. I would seem as though when turning right, the trucks steering wheel feels as though there is a grinding or metal on metal somewhere IMO. I posted this before, thanks for all the help and ideas, but to no avail. I am wondering this... . First, would the steering rods be going? Seconds, Is there a lube zert somewhere on the steering components of the truck? Third, would bushings be going out somewhere. It is getting worse and worse alittle at a time, and i wanna stop this before it craps the bed on me. Thanks again.....





Regards,

John

Check your front u-joints. You'll need to get the FE off the ground and check for rolling resistance from lock to lock.

thanks for the advice, is there lubeable joints in the front? Its been a little time since I lubed the truck... .
