Slash's "Budget" Built Trail Limo and BS, Now with Polls!

Lmao, more like, time to buy JD pivots and say goodbye to the stock front end.

 

Im thinking the same thing. I'd rather do a SAS but that shit is expensive

 

Steering rack?

 

That's my fear, not sure how to diagnose to know for sure.

 

I have a feeling my steering rack is getting bad. Any slight corrections and the truck jerks. It was really bad when I started to head home from ATR, the TINIEST correction I made and the truck would fucking yeet in that direction. Pulled into a parking lot and took that cap off the steering fluid reservoir and turned the wheels lock to lock to bleed any air out. Worked but it's still fidgety as hell

 

Our racks with big tires = lots of feedback from the road at the wheel. I never really had any issue with the vibes till Tennessee, and to a greater extent, my last trip to Kansas Rocks. I probably beat the fuck out of the front end and now something's shot. OR I'm thinking it's on one side when in reality it's the passenger side. I guess I could swap out the passenger wheel hub/bearing and see if that fixes it. I didn't want to do that on the off chance the bearing is fine. Guess I could keep it as a spare if it's still vibrating.

 

Wouldn't hurt. That's what I've done a couple of times

 

So balanced the two fronts yesterday, and they told me they were way off balance. Drove it home and it felt better. Got on the highway and it was still vibrating a bit but was a lot better, but slammed on the brakes in traffic and it's back to full vibes again. So maybe I lost a weight?

 

So @Calamity_taco is gonna let me borrow his wheels off his truck to do some testing to see if the vibes are wheel/tire related. If so, I may just say F it and swap to the new-to-me Falken MTs and balance beads.

If not, probably gonna do lower ball joints next.

 

Hey, when you’re done…

 

ye give it a test next week sometime and hopefully it sorts it out.

 

you get nothin!

 

Just let me know which day you're free.

 

Calm down I just wanna borrow them!

 

will do man im free the entire week minus you know christmas lol

nope lol you can buy em thou! i want some different wheels that work better with the red!
it wont really be even borrowing its bolt em on run around with em and test to see if it changes anything

 

That or could be the lower ball joints like you said. I have no idea because I'm not a mechanic. Going through some bullshit with the forester and I can't figure it out

 

I get that feeling:

 

I'm honestly thinking about getting rid of it and getting another 2nd gen for a daily

 

get rid of it and buy a cheap car idk about owning two 2nd gens lol

 

The second 2nd gen (see what I did there?) Is gonna be bone stock. Maybe a set of 5100s if the shocks are roached but that's it
