Shocks or Idler Arm?
My T100 started to feel a little "drifty" the other day. Doesn't seem to pull hard one way or the other, just doesn't track the way it used to. I put a new Idler arm and shocks in around 90k. I'm at 167k now. Don't want to eat up tires, there still new.

You can check if it's the idler if you lift the front slightly and push the passenger side tire in and out (towards the driver side) if the idler has play, you will see it.
When mine went out, it made clunking noises while turning and going up hill, and when braking the fronts of the tires pointed towards each other.... (i could tell by the sound)

tires aren't showing wear yet, it's not drastically pulling, just "wondering" a little. It started after an afternoon of moderate 4 wheeling(coffee table sized rocks), seems to be getting more noticable lately. Maybe it is alignment.
