I Got my Truck brand new back in October. At 2000K I put a belltech 3/4 drop on it with drop shocks. I also added the 22's you see in the sig.

When I am under heavy acceleration or even driving fast over a bad, bumpy, shitty road, or just any road that is not totally smooth I get steerling wheel shake which is normal for 22's with 35 series tires. My questions is in that steering wheel shake there is like a little side to side play in the steering colum, Tie rod, torsion bar or something that is jsut not feeling right. It seems as if the steering is loose or there is a bushing or bearing or something that is bad. I had my ball joints checked and there are fine.

If you can picture your steering having like a 1/2 inch of play from side to side that is what I am feeling? Does Anyone know where I can start trying to fix this problem or what it could be. It never did this till I got the drop and wheels. PLEASE HELP!!!!

 

have you rechecked all your bolts since the drop? tie rod ends, ubolts?

 

I have checked everything except the tie rod ends?

 

the skinny shaft metal pices that bolt up to your spindles.

Jack up one side of the truck at a time, just enough for one tire to be in air. Using the tire tool, or a pry bar, lift the bottom of the tire and move it up and down. Keep the other hand on the top of your tire. If you can feel a clunk, or any other solid sound, then there's something loose. You can do this with your spare tire changing set.

 

If you are havign any clunking noises, check under the dash. I was having some noise from a plastic ring on the steering shaft.. Someone suggested I tape it up with electrical tape, I did and havent looked back =)

Can you tighten them or they have to be replaced?

 

Me? The plastic ring? I just taped it up good, no idea about replacing.
