Re: Steering Column Gripe:71 Jimmy

I sheared the centering pin on the driver side (where the leafpack hits the axle). Truck wandered something fierce, I couldnt for the life of me figure it out. Drove from Surrey BC back to Vancouver WA (10ish hour drive?) with it wandering all over the road. My old man figured it out in 2 seconds, we dropped the axle down a bit, ground the points off a new bolt's head, and replaced the broken pin. Problem solved. Any good alignment shop should diagnose for free, might help narrow down whats up without throwing countless dollars at everything.
