Still, i've used many reman parts on vehicles and rarely had an issue. He adjusted the box and i test drove it, i'm still not happy with it but i'll tinker with it. It's almost sketchy driving it. I know i'm pampered driving a 2013 rental, but it doesn't feel right. When parked and running, the tires WILL move ever so slightly within that 4" of play. Maybe comparison to the new car...about an 1/2" to an 1" of what it would take that car to do it. I know i can't expect it to be like new stuff, but 1 - 2" should be attainable. What does everyone else have in theirs?
I want to also bring up return to center. Does everyone elses trucks my gen have it? By that i mean, you spin the wheel left or right as your driving and it slowly helps spin back the other direction. You can almost let the wheel slide in your hand to let it bring you out of the corner. The truck does not do this. You turn it left, it'll drive left until it feels like not anymore.
I feel like maybe the box blew with the worn kingpins, one was almost frozen in there. Maybe the few miles I drove it blew the box up? It's either that or SOMETHING is being overlooked. Dropped 1100 on a rental this month so upgrading to a redhead is probably not in my best option list.
