chewie Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 jack that side up.. get under it.. lock steering wheel.. twist wheel left and right like your turning the truck.. look for play on the tie rod end or wheel bearing. then put hands at 12 and 6 o clock and try and rock the tire in and out.. look for play at bottom ball joint and wheel bearing or your strut.. i assume it has a strut.. then try and push wheel forward and back with hands at 10 and 3 o clock and look to see if the suspension arm moves Quote 91 dodge colt gt.. 4 custom t600 15s audioque 3500d.1 tuned to 25 hz... stay tuned. blazer stroker 15 brutus bxi2006d terrible voltage drop 145.4@38HZ...
