Steering play in wheel - Simple fix

[seafish]

Vey nice offer!!! Sent ya a pm. Thanks!!!

My little bag of nylon bushings arrived today and I dropped one in there. Had to tap it once with a hammer to seat it in the gap. I'll know tomorrow if it handles any better.

So I have 9 of these little things left. If anyone needs one PM me your address and I'll drop one in an envelope and mail it to you.

The shaft should take 2 bushings, one on each side. Also a hose clamp to keep secured in place.

I didn't visually look at the other side but I did feel back there with my hand and it doesn't feel like the side I replaced. I'll double check it though. Thanks for the heads up.

​I wonder if Borgeson (sp?) would have the right part to fix this.

I'd like one! I'll send you a PM.

So based on post below, what is a guy to do with a 03? Too many things going on to figure this one out when I am sure someone else has.

EDIT #2
OK, I'm a sap. Should have actually checked mine before jumpin to conclusions.
It seems our 03's are built different with a bolt and clamp arangement instead of the metal dowel shown in the images above.

I could use three if you can spare them PM sent.

I could use a pair if you still have them.

If anyone is still looking for this exact size grainger.com has them - https://www.grainger.com/category/r...teners/ecatalog/N-8nlZ1z0ljw4Z1z0nbraZ1z0nx61

$2.57 for a package of 10. Better than buying a package of 100 like the amazon link had.

Edit: Link is bad because of poor website management on grainger's part. Suffice it to say they have them and are available.

Link works now, or at least on my computer it does

Just ordered these so anyone interested in the other 8?, Will be here after 11/17

JWduke,

Do you have two more bushings? PM me. The steering is the one thing I hate about this truck.

Thanks,
Steve

For those having problems with the link, deathbysnoosnoo's link points to Grainger item number 3ZML9, but Grainger part number 3ZMN6 seems to be the part specified by JKosten (the OP).

Now I know where the clunking in the wheel is coming from.

Thanks for the info.

Great ! I have an 06 Megacab and a 3d printer. I did not know they would be such good friends with each other.

Yeah it looks like the ones I bought are half the depth they should be. I ended up using two of them together on each side of the shaft which works out well because if I ever need to remove them to replace the shaft it'll be easier to break them out.

I am all out of extras though.

Anyone have a couple of these to spare? I'd love to PayPal one of you guys a little cash to cover your time and effort involved. Thanks
