R Roland2655 OP Getting the Wheeling Fever Lately I've notice that my 85 pickup vibrates (front end) when taking off from a stop. I have 31x10.5 on the truck and was wondering if this could be part of the problem. I also don't experience shimmy or anything that would suggest the front end is out of alignment at highway speeds. Some of the bushings seem pretty worn out, but no more so than you would expect from a truck this old. ridge runner Re: front end vibration?

Is there any one item that has a history of being a problem? ridge runner Re: front end vibration? [Re: Roland2655] #595490 04/22/05 05:13 PM Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 12,153 N. California. USA 4Crawler Web Wheeler Pretty much anything can wear out. Spring bushings are common and easy to replace, polyurethane bushings are a good upgrade. Wheel and knuckle bearings can wear out and need replacement. Draglink ends can get worn and lead to play in the steering, etc. I would check everything and fix whatever is shot. r.c.brown@ieee.org TruckEditor@tlca.org Project: 4Crawler 4Crawler OffRoad - 4x4Wire discount code Moderated by  4Crawler, 4x4Wire, kewlynx  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts
