My question is has anyone found them sqeaking or have they changed and no longer do...
Ive just bought the truck and done maybe 175 to get it home and around 50 at home .. the rest of the time has been spent going over Electrics (relay mod/shorts/gauge faults etc) Brakes and Front end bushes/ball joints steering etc. I'd just gotten to the trans and transfer case no

Here a vid of the movment...

Hi Guys ..
i'm Tackling my sloppy steering and once it was jacked up and the wheels were off it was obvious that at least the

'slop'.
I've searched the term but i...
