DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Who has a bunch of money and wants to own an OHV Park???

 

Its been for sale since sometime last year. Waiting for a steep price drop before I buy it. Oh and the lottery, need a ticket to miraculously show up in my hand(I dont play the lottery) that is worth way more than that.

 

I offered to trade a few ** cars, waiting on reply.

 

Does anyone have a spanner wrench I can borrow at some point?

 

I have the tool for my kings and I know Maner @Bigdaddy4760 has a spanner wrench.

 

Cool. I’ve almost got everything to get the T4R lifted, but I’ll probably need help with the resi brackets

 

Nice! I need to install the front springs my suspension was supposed to come with that I finally received a week ago, after a 4 month wait...

 

Im pretty sure i have a boss 2.5 spanner i dont need any more

 

I kind of want to install the rear ahead of the meet and finish the front at @Bigdaddy4760 's.

 

I just use a regular punch. But my Kings are also a little beat up so IDGAF

 

Thats pretty much all the king tool is. I'd likely do the same had mine not come with the "tool".

 

Good morning ladies & gentlemen, I need y’all’s help since Facebook crown ain’t helping to much. Quick question. So I got a 2016 Sport 4x4 on stock suspension and yesterday my truck (with 198k miles)started having a little pop when I turn the wheel left or right. Steering wheel slips when I turn. What is the issue so I can fix ASAP as it’s pretty scary when I hopped on the freeway the way the wheel slips.

sucks because I started taking my motorcycle apart so now all I have is my taco for transporting so I need to fix this soon.


thanks in advance folks.

 

Put the front up on jackstands and try to shake the wheel. If you have play in the ball joints or steering tie rod, you should be able to see it. May need a pry bar or something to get some leverage on the wheel.

 

Ive heard from steering rack & pinion to ball joint, tie rods I’m almost lost now with so many things that can be

 

^this

Gotta start eliminating options to get down to where the issue is.

 

You should be able to find some stock take-off Upper Control Arms for a cheap price (or free) and that would take care of Upper Ball Joints. I think you can get some Mevotech LCA's from RockAuto for about $125 each. Tie rods should be less than $50 for the set.

 

Did you buy resi brackets or fab some up?

 

Pretty sure I've got my stock UCA's in the garage with 12.5k miles on them I would let go for cheap.

Fronts came with mounts and the

$79 FOX Universal Reservoir Mounting Bracket Kit - 803-02-042-KIT

rear resi mounts I bought before install so I didnt have to sorry about it. Probably be easy to fab something up.

 

Jack up the truck by the frame and watch this video. https://youtu.be/-oR_5MqvBgE

 

That's a Dodge....we all knew he'd find multiple problems before even watching the video. We can also assume that the transmission is bad.
