C- Wedge bushings

How are your steering components looking?

Loose steering box at frame
Worn tie rod ends
Worn ball joints
Worn drag link end
Worn / loose track bar bushings
Your shocks better not be worn!

Have you had a friendly elf hop behind the wheel and actuate the wheel so you can get a good look at what is going on under there?

Sent from my GS3 on Cyanogenmod with the older / better version of Tapatalk!


The good
Steering box is new and tight
All the heims are good on the linkage
New bushings in the track bar, but ordered another set just in case
Ball joints are tight
Shocks are great
Also installed some camber shims, so the camber is looking a lot better.

The bad
The upper track bar bolt hole is a little out of round which I think maybe my problem. Its tight and doesn't move when my elf moves the wheel in the garage, but im not convinced that it doesn't moves when load is applied to it on the road.
Going to look at it tonight, I think I'm going to order these weld washer, once I figure out what size I need.
