Ok, thanks. I guess I'm having other problems in the front end, must not be that.

Well, to start with. I replaced the shocks and put on the 2" leveling kit 3 months ago, it rode like a dream for a few weeks then everytime I went over a bump it felt like something was loose on the drivers side, I've been under my truck several times but can't find anything loose. Then when I turn the steering wheel slightly either way I can feel and hear it clicking near the front wheel, not really grinding just clicks a few times. It's only when I turn it lightly though, if I turn hard you can't tell. My steering has a lot of play in it though, it's coming from the steering box. I found that much out today. It's full on fluid though. I was gonna take it to my mechanics, but would like to try and do what I can before and avoid the expense. What do you suppose it is, needing alignment?....new trac bar? It's still got the stock steering stabilizer/damper on it. I was going to order a new one next week. Thanks for the help!

I got it in on Tuesday evening, put it on, and greased it. As I was removing the grease gun, the zerk broke off. I could see the grease inside, so i removed the rest of the zerk with a screw-out adapter. None of my zerks fit, so I taped over the lube hole until I get one.

Getting to the driving part. WOW. $229 well spent. I wish I had gotten this earlier. Steering response improved, steering wander disappeared, and there is no bind when sitting still and turning the wheel. I am very impressed and will be more impressed when I get the new zerk in LOL.
