I have had the entire front end rebuild two rebuild gearboxes. It turns perfect no loose play. Does not seem to hold the road. It will do find hit a bump and you have to correct.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros. Com.

Can you tell me what components were replaced? Were the tracking bar bushings replaced? Control arm bushings?

Let me know everything that was done.

Thanks,
Joe

Welcome back. I strongly recommend checking the radius arm bushings. The radius arm is attached between the front axle and the frame of the vehicle. If there is excessive wear or play in the bushing, the axle can move.

I found a picture of one online for you to see where the new mount and bushing is located. If everything is new on the front, this would be a good suspect.

Let me know what you find.
