New to the forum & have major problems...Help!

[BOSS]

Had a change of plans today, my husband did not change the control arms because I took it to another 4x4 shop and they said that's not my problem. They did say they're a little cracked but not bad enought to be causing the problem.
This is what they've found so far:

1) Passenger uper ball joint is shot (was just changed 3 weeks ago)

2) Outer tie rod ends have alot of play (inner was changed previously, not outer)

3) Front torsion bars need to be replaced because they are fully extended and no adjustment left in them

They also recommend new shocks and think my rear springs may be weak and need to be replaced with a heavier-duty set. They say they won't be sure about the rear-end until the front end is tightened up.

It's still at the shop right now so I can't get any pics or video posted at this time.

Any thoughts??

I really think you have a front end issue, try jackin it up and checking the wheel play as described earlier by someone. Donut to dollars that's it.

Can you get us a picture of the front end of the truck? That may help. If your ball joints are shot already...bad angles maybe? Rear springs I would think would just sag, been there and the truck just sat lower. As for the tierods, again I would like to see a picture of the front end facing the front of the truck.

welcome to the forum! hope this problem gets fixed soon for ya.
i agree with BlackCoffee tho, especially after the problem didn't get fixed the first two times - take it to a suspension shop. that's the whole point of having a shop that works on just suspension, so they're good at it just like having transmission shops.
