    M1009 front bearing replacement project: Advice needed on what else to replace

    While the bearings are off may as well do the u joints; as far as the locking hubs. Don't waist your time and money on a set of warn hubs if yours work fine. We had issues with the stock hubs on my fathers f250, so replaced with warn. Same issues yet, there really no better than stock when it...

    Steering wheel off center

    but weren't we just told not to strike in that general area with a pickle fork? or should i be removing the pitman arm from the box first. then removing drag link from arm.
