So my truck (98 c1500 5.7l) is drifting to the right bad, as soon as I let go of the steering wheel, it drifts right. And the inner edge of both front tires wear out crazy fast.
I changed out some front end stuff,(almost everything because the front end was damaged pretty good by the people I bought the truck from) no change. I haven’t touched the control arms or springs, or steering box, or camber bolts. I have changed ball joints, bushings, tie rods, pitman arm, the other arm, sway bar links, and bushings, even changed the wheel bearings, new spindles, changed out my shocks also
Not sure what I can do to fix the alignment. The previous owners drove the 2w like it was a 4w (chance why front end stuff needed replaced) and had Way too big of tires that caught and rubbed, so I got the standard size tires so I could actually turn side to side.
I wonder.. could they have put longer springs in and that’s why it won’t align or drive straight and has pull? Or maybe that spring on the right side is just shot completely?
Got it aligned 2 different times, both times the mechanic said he couldn’t get it all the way properly aligned - Frame is not twisted or anything, which was a big concern at first, but yeah frame checks out
I don’t even know what else to do to fix it. Anyone got any suggestions?
