    Although @esxcli suggested I ratchet strap the axle to the frame and keep the lines taut to prevent the axle from moving around when I replace the panhard bar.

    Also, getting an alignment at Big O, hoping they take a touch to the bushings like they did the 99 so I can get new ones.

    My buddy ran ironmans on his Tacoma that he worked out of. The wore out pretty fast and he got lots of flats via sidewall

    Yeah that was how I straightened my axle back into place when it was slightly cockeyed from installing my leaf springs.

    My right pull issue is in the front end though it turns out. Still trying to figure it out, partly why I am moving on to my LCA bushings next after doing the steering rack ones.

    Alignment shop says I might be looking at a slightly bent spindle but I have a hard time believing that, had good alignments up until this past year and I haven't done any hard wheeling in over a year.

    Could be time you grab those LCA I've got sitting aside.

    You going to get those Sonoran Steel bushings that @Abeyancer recently purchased?

    Get em while they're in stock! When I was emailing the guys at Sonora they're experiencing delays in shipping trying to get the bushings from Poland. I had to wait a few weeks before they finally got this batch in

    That garage I get work/alignments done at actually ordered some bushings for me, I forget the name of them but its an Aussie brand. Supposedly the same thing as Whitelines but the Australian version that are called something different...wish I could remember the name. Supposed to get here in a week

    If I make it to Moab I definitely want the truck driving straight lol. Plus I need to get new tires on before then too and don't want to wear them down all wrong on that long drive.

    What pisses me off more is that I have a box of those shoe covers (not those exact ones, just the cheap hospital kind) that I use in plain view in the studio, but they didn't use them.

    I mean I hardly use the photo studio at all any more since my job has mostly shifted to website maintenance but still. Now I have to paint the damn thing again for next time

    They were starting construction on the highway about 5 miles up so no more exits and the last one was next to me 3 lanes over

    I turn my head the coast was clear

    I turned the wheel and made the exit, but the wheel didn't return back to center
