Aw, you guys are just to sharp. I feel humbled when I see the stuff you do. I would like to stick my nose in here to ask a few questions. I have two 89 troopers. I am in the middle of a front end redo. The truck wonders. I have done two upper balljoints and an upper control arm bushing. Tierods are good. Had the front end aligned. Still wonders. Steering gear box seams good. No play. Today I checked the idler it has play in the part that anchors it to the frame. You are talking about this part in this thread I think. I took it out but don't know where to go from here. Wrecking yard, machine shop or parts house? Can play in this part cause wondering, maybe darting is a better word. You mention tightening up the steering gear box, I have read that problems in the front end should be fixed before any messing with the steering box. Any thoughts would be a great help. Thanks
