Steering wheel vibration and pulling
« on: Dec 31, 2004, 03:19:37 PM »
I need some help figuring out what is causing my steering to pull to the left and to the right. :driving:  I have Kongs hysteer on my 1988 toyota pickup. SOme days it pulls to the right and some to the left. Confusing.. :confused: Mostly the left though. Also when i brake the steering wheel will vibrate up and down. Theres a little play when you push it up and down. I was woundering what i need to do to fix that but i know the reason its vibrating is because of something in the front being out of allignment.

I have 1.5" wheel spacers in the front. Think one side could be bent and cause it to pull? I have new rims and wheels and they are balanced. Im pretty sure they are not bent i have only wheeled with them about 4 times.

Also when i turn the steering wheel to the left and to the right there is a poping noise and sometimes is pretty loud, i thought maybe it could be the front leafs, but could it be the birfields poping? I might need to rebuilt them or they just need to be greased.

Do you think those bearings are causing my steering to pull to the side?

Make sure your ubolts are tight, my leafs pop if mine are a little loose at all and the steering gets funky to, hopefully its not your trunions. i would check everything on the front end for torque drive it then tear it apart if it deosn't get better.
Sounds like more tree huggin hippie bull :pokinit:
