For lack of a better word, I'm frustrated. After running into some major alignment issues with my rig I've decided to explore the option of redoing my SAS. Over the last 6 to 8 months I have been chasing gremlins with my front end. Fortunately, I don't have anything like death wobble. The problem occurs after accelerating and then letting off the gas the truck feels like it wants to pull off to the right.
I was told by a tire shop that I had a camber problem a second/ off road shop looked at things and said the c-bushings were shot and I had a very loose coil bucket. The 4 degree c-bushings were replaced with 7 and all of the bolts were tightened up, but the the problem still persists somewhat and now the passenger side tire is wearing unevenly on the outside.
The SAS I have is your run of the mill variety, extended radius arms with the coil bucket set up using the ttb coils and retainers, custom fabbed drop radius brackets and trac bar. The steering was made from DOM with heavy duty tie rod ends.
I know there is any number of things that can possibly go wrong with these components, but I have to believe it's something simple that's being overlooked.
That being said, I'm thinking about taking the axle and just starting from scratch, maybe going with cage arms or something like that, so for those of you who have done the swap and have had it for a while, what would you have done differently with your swap if you had it to do all over again?
