12V Issues

Has anyone had issues with their Alignment Cam Bolt Assembly? I have been having alot of popping noises on the drivers frontend. Apparently when I had a place do my shocks they also did my alignment. Guess what I crawled under my truck today with my across the street neighbor and he found that the bolt is loose (yes he is a diesel mechanic).He said if it has been loose for that long then it has mess up that rubber bushing.

You probably need new control arms, look at those rubber bushings if they are cracked that is usually a sign. I don't have personnal exsperiance but my freind did.

Aint that the truth bout our trucks

On a serious note,

what JD Dearden said would have been exactly what i thought the answer would be, Runnin a dual shock setup might help, if you can deal with breakin the brackets alot (as happens with me) I just keep my front end aligned constantly, and i keep up with the shocks..

I dont know much about any other issues, But im open to learn from this thread too...

Hey Rick. I had new Calipers and a new brake line put on yesterday. drives so much better.Still have to have the driver's brake line put on and the bushing put in the stabilizer arm tomorrow.Hopefully the toy will be done for awhile.
