Yes, I have searched the forums a good deal but cant seem to make this right.
My truck, cannot, will not and has never been smooth, since I've had it atleast, for 2yrs and 50k now.
Start with what I've done and replaced.
Rotors x4
Pads x4 (Hawk)
Caliper x1
Sway links x2
Sway bushings x2
All 3 rear U-joints (Spicer)
Totally new Carrier Bearing
Tranny (BTS)
Front Hub (Left)
Ball joints x4
Sets of tires x2 (Currently Kumho KL78 315/70/16)
Rear driveshaft balanced (Twice)
New Bilsteins x4
Bilstein dual stabilizer
Various CB shims
Multiple different Alignments
Tires balanced more than once.
Probably more than that.
My wondering problem I believe I have down to the steering gear (200k truck)
It will just go whereever it wants, PITA to drive. All the Tie rod ends are tight, as well as pittman arm to draglink.
Thoughts on that?
Vibration, I am close to the end of the road.
Had a different shop today balance the driveshaft and do a front end alignment and its better but still has an annoying vibration. Very hard to describe, seems to come and go, but above 73 mph, it feels like its going to come apart. From 0-30, pretty smooth. above that its hit or miss. It has the 43-49mph shake everyother super duty has, but this one is worse. Then it seems to shake sometime and not, nothing predictable. When I am braking it vibrates pretty bad indicating warped rotors... All new rotors and pads, same result. I really just want it to be pretty tight and smooth, IDK anymore, tried everything I can, now Im here lolsnb:
