Asap!

Ok, so I have a friend that has an 85/86 4x4 pickup. She was cuttin donuts in the gravel, -as I've heard- almost completely sideways. Now her bed sits wierd, and the steering is very shaky. I have not looked under the truck to know if she has a spring-over. If she does, I'm thinkin axle wrap.

So...what do yall think? (give any parts that might need to be replaced with your explanation)

Help on an ASAP level is definitely appreciated,
thanks, Sean

All the 4WD pickups are spring over axle. Only way to tell what is wrong is to have a look at it.

Retighten the u-bolts on the rear axle. Check the mounting bolts on the steering gearbox and the idler arm for looseness.
