Forgive me If this thread has been previously discussed. I have done both arms, upper and lower ball joints, and arms. Trucks steers a lot better besides the steering speed sensor I have yet to install. But whenever i hit bumps, it sounds like my front driver wheel is pealing out, squealing... what could it be? your thoughts please....

A sleeper with lots of torque, real weak glazed slippery poor quality tire rubber. If auto 4wd, it could be signs of the front diffy getting sticky inside with the front shaft engaged. In plain 4wd too. If 2wd coil spring movement. Sway bar bushing noise.

I don't think my 4wd is sticking I'd have a blown ifs or tranfers case. It looks like the maybe butterflied and the truck leans to the driver side a bit....

Dunno... Just changed the steering speed sensor... Steers a hell of a lot better... Is there a way to align the tires camber wise?

Ill get down there and see if the have the equal amount of crank. That could be the issue....

Yes but you may need to have the upper arm punched and a camber kit needed if not done previously. Also it is very likely that the keys will not be equally cranked even if the body is level sideways.

Its 4.5 Rancho lift with 35 in mud terrains. Yes the alignment was down upon install of the steering components.
