Steering...

1bj · 04-22-2009, 01:00 PM

I have a 93 hardbody v6 4x4, and for some reason it pulls to both sides(not at the same time

) on a flat surface road. I need to put new tires on it, but i don't want to untill i get this fixed. i'm pretty sure that i'm also going to need an alignment, but i don't think that that is all thats causing the pulling.

Any ideas????

Thanks

lol i haven't played in the mud in over a year

Honestly...
but when i back up, if i stop and then let off the brake, the caliper does make a popping noise, (like it was stuck, but is now unstuck kind of noise) but i wasn't sure if that would cause the steering issue.

and the tires that are on the truck have had a long life (35-40k), but they have worn more on the inner sides...

Lube the caliper pins and since your truck is a 93 model replace the front rubber brake hoses.
