Scott,
I have stock suspension on my AD and had a real problem with bump steer. I
had a real close call with a semi truck of the large red variety so I
decided to have my king pins, suspension and steering redone by the pros.
$2000.00+ later the alignment guy comes back from a test drive and declares
the truck complete. He then suggested that I put radials on cause the bias
ply will always try to track the ruts in asphalt. He then described the
close call he just had in my truck with a truck of the large blue variety.
I took his advise and got radials. Now I can steer with one finger. No
more two fisted white knuckle driving for me. Get some radial tires. They
sure make driving a lot more pleasurable.
I DRIVE MY TRUCK EVERYDAY BUT IT HAS A LOT OF BUMPSTEER AND INSTABILITY AT
ALL SPEEDS. I'VE BECOME GOOD AT MANAGING IT BUT WAS WONDERING IF THERE ARE
REMEDIES OUT THERE LIKE A PANHARD BAR OR GETTING NEW TIE ROD ENDS? OR IS
THIS NORMAL FOR AN OLD TRUCK. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL STRAIGHT AXLE
>THANKS IN ADVANCE
