Truck drives straight and tight until I hit a expansion joint at highway speed and then the truck wants to jump and dart. Ball joints have been replaced once before and never done anything with the track bar. Kinda of acting like the ball joints did before but not for sure. Don't see any excessive movement when I check the ball joints. How will the truck react with worn bushings in the track bar?
Thanks

 

Have you changed your shocks yet? Mine was terrible before I put the Bilsteins on. Once the new shocks were installed, it was much better.

 

100 different trucks are going to react 100 diffferent ways!! Ball joints could solve your problem......but more than likely your track bar will tell the story. I have over 300k miles on my truck with zero death wobble but I do know that my track bar is loose and causing front axle movement. I've tightened it to no avail. New TopGunCustomz adjustable track bar and control arms should be here by end of this week........hopefully it will solve my front tire wear issues. My ball joints aren't but a year old and still seem tight. Will let you know what happens after the install.

 

How can I expect the truck to handle if the bushings are bad. The truck has 130,000 miles on it and haven't done anything but checked for movement. Can I get by with changing to urethane bushings? Or get an adjustable track bar, which I haven't needed yet. What advantage would I see with changing the track bar?

 

With worn track bar bushings you can expect some road wander and the possibility of the death wobble. I have the urethane bushings in mine now it seems the mounting holes have wallowed out some so I have a relatively loud pop when turning the tires on hard ground. Have new adjustable track bar and longer control arms on order as we speak. The new bar requires you open up the mounting holes to 16mm.

 

I think i'm going to try lazersmith offset bushings. Can anyone give me some feedback that's had these in for a while.
