I have three questions with regards to this vehicle:
1. I have noticed that the steering feels less tight now than when new. Also in slight turns at moderate speed I feel light clunking or chatter in the steering wheel. The dealer said the exhaust was missing some rubber supports but this did not help. I did notice that when the truck got greased when I changed the oil it was better for a short while.
2. I notice especially when putting truck into reverse I hear a clunk and it also feels like it takes a second or two to get into reverse so I don't apply gas immediately after shifting. The 1st to 2nd gear transition is also a little choppy depending upon the traffic conditions. If I accelerate and then lift off the gas in traffic it sometimes shilfts abruptly into 2nd with a jerk.
3. Lastly with a rear tire off (driver) I pulled and pushed on the rotor and noticed slight movement in and out again with a slght clunking noise. This wasn't the rotor moving on the wheel studs it was the whole axle shaft. Is this normal play?
Tks, Bruce
