Hey everyone!
Just bought an 05 Hoe with 184,***. Body and interior are in excellent shape. 3 exhaust bolts are broke I'll deal with that later. Very mild right now and goes away when warm.
However, I'm getting what seems to be a normal concern with steering.
I:
-Can get a 11-1 wiggle from the wheel before response on the highway
-Feel like the truck is being thrown around lane to lane on the highway
-Have a skipping or hopping when turning into or backing out of a parking spot. This just began after adjusting the screw on the gear box
-Adjusted the screw about 3/8 of a turn which helped but not too much. I went about 1/8 turn at a time and didn't want to go any further
I've had it at a shop that I guess I don't trust.
They told me everything looks great, but when I looked I see the driver side tie rod boot istorn and they didn't even mention that.
I'm getting a little frustrated. Any thoughts? Is it time to just overhaul the front end? The shop said nothing was loose.
If it needs a gear box what's the best brand?
