Howdy all
I went wheeling the other day and got my rig into a pretty rough spot. I now have somewhat of a difficulty steering the rig, although it does drive straight. It pulls and pops occasionally around tight turns at low speeds, as I can feel the play in the steering wheel (tight turns as in hanging a right onto a perpendicular street.)
I jacked up the front left, and the tire has no play, so I'm eliminating the idea of bad ball joints or a bad wheel bearing. (I have a D30, 4.56 gears, 33s, stock axle shafts) As I turn the wheel around, the front driveshaft turns in unison for most of the rotation, but then it stops as the tire is still being rotated, then it "engages" again. Also, the tire binds up and stops at a point in the rotation and it requires a bit more force to get it to turn.
I really need help and ideas.
Thanks
Kyle
