I was having a problem with my np231 front output seal wearing out and I believe I will solve it with the Rusty's upper control arms I just ordered. When i put the RE lift on originally I borrowed clamshell coil spring compressors from a friend. This time I'm just touching the upper CAs. Is there any way to do this without taking out the coils?
Also, I've had some issues with loose/wobbly/sloppy steering. I replaced the trac bar and recented the axle. I've been told this can be play in the tie rod ends. Does this sound right? I get about 30 degrees of play in my steering wheel making it difficult to drive for long highway trips. COuld it be pitman arm, steering stabilizer, or knuckle issues? Any ideas would help. thanks.
