Hello all, I just bought my first Toyota, a 1992 pickup with and exo bed, lifted, locked, 33's etc. It runs pretty good, needs work to smog, but my biggest concern is the steering. Its frightening at best. it seems to follow bumps and ruts, and gets worse as speed increases. What should I look at?
Thanks!
Oh, and heres a pic of my truck, dosnt really do it justice.

 

Nice yoda !

I'm sure some one can tell yuo about your steering , I have no clue .

 

prob just need a new steering stabilizer

 

Idler arm bushings/seals could be worn, bad IFS box, PS not working...lots of possible culprits for your bad steering. Lots of good info here on fixing your steering to be found with a little searching.

Welcome to Yotatech.

 

have you ever drove a locked truck before?

it could just be because your not used to driving something thats locked

 

of the steering might help.
Sweet rig. Glad you finally saw the light and converted to our cult.

seriously.

 

Very good point, is it locked in the front?

 

Rear locker, the front diff and related parts are out right now actually, PO was tearing it down to do a SAS and then joined the Army and never got around to putting it back in. I think its just a Lincoln locker though, the tires chirp no matter how slow I go around turns. Ill get a pic of the steering when I get to the truck.

 

If the front end is half way torn apart that could have alot to do with the steering problem depending on whats going on. I would probly just not worry about it and finish that SAS.

IFS =

SO

SAS

 

Great idea, wanna front me a couple grand? haha
Im broke as of now, so IFS is gonna stay

 

Nice truck. Locked ifs insn't too bad.. i wouldnt be in a hurry to sas unless your that hardcore
