Another track bar post
With 26K miles on the truck:
The week before I left on my trip I thought the truck was pulling to the right. I thought "track bar" but couldn't duplicate the problem all the time.
While heading through Canada, pulling nothing and only loaded with a canopy, on some of the winding roads I'd be on and off the throttle real heavy. Twice I felt the truck get a little squirlly on the suspension as the trucks weight shifted and I thought of the track bar again. Had my wife wiggle the steering wheel while I inspected everything and saw movement in the track bar joint, so I just installed a NAPA track bar in their parking lot.
The only thing I notice different so far is the steering wheel is even more off center then before. The joint on the new bar has about the same movement as the original.
I think I now have a good spare, but the test procedure on my new one indicates it's bad as well.
Has anyone installed a new track bar and not seen movement in the joint while testing?
