I just had a new set of tires installed on my 98 Quad Cab 1500 2WD, so I followed that up with a FE Alignment.
I took it to a shop that I trust and have had quality work done on several vehicles.
On the "test drive", the mechanic noticed some dead play in the steering - when he showed me what he was talking about, I realized he was right - it was less responsive.
So they installed a new Pitman arm and I have to agree - it is better.
My question: my truck has just over 44,000 miles and I'm the original owner - so I know the history - it has never been abused.
I asked the mechanic why it would go bad, and he said usually because of lack of keeping it lubricated - although he added - he could tell mined had been well lubed, so
What gives ???
