Hello all! I have a 99 extended cab 4x4 at, bone stock. I got the truck last october. Within 3 months I had to hold the steering wheel 2-3 inches to the left to keep it straight. Got it aligned the tech foung noechanical problems. Another 3 months same problem, this time he says the rack needs to be tightned up. Surely now my problem is fixed! Nope, and now it seems in a week my steering wheel isa t the 10 oclock position again, but it is not pulling. My question is, since my ball joints are tight is my rack toast, or am I overlooking something?

PD

new inner and outer tie rods ends.


or a new alignment mechanic
----
what dictates steering wheel alignment is the number of threads
where the inner and outer tie rod connect,

and whether or not the
locknuts are doing the job.

new tie rods are cheap enuf

new alignment shop might be your first step

 

firestone lifetime alignment..

if you have the hour or so to wait.. go back whenever it is out of shape..
its a couple more bucks but you can get one whenever you want

my brother had 4 in a year, he was told that same thing. when I was helping him do some work on the front end found that the ball joint was so toasted it just fell apart.....

 

Highly NOT recomended.

Firestone is TERRIBLE.

And this is the thread that I started when I first got the lifetime deal, and there were a number of people not satisfied then:
