Hi all
Its been a while. so i got a new ride and need some help before I start throwing money at something. I bought an 87' van which runs well and will be a work horse for construction jobs. However i ran in to a scary issue on the drive home. This ol bitty was wandering over the road and hard to keep tracking straight. From what I understand this is a common issue? i jacked up the front and try to toggle the front tires back in forth with hands at 12 and 6. Not much play..some but barely. however side to side it had considerable play. I recognize that the wheels are supposed to turn (obviously). However what could this mean? I have a red head gear not yet installed on my truck. I have read that that may be a primary culprit. Thoughts or experience with these vans?
