Road rash and rust, in the arid west?
My search for a new van continues. Yes, every used vehicle has SOMETHING wrong with it :). The current candidate seems great -- but it has a LOT of road rash. I don't mind. It's a boondocking rig...
Forum Discussion
Thanks, Mex :).
Will you believe I was wondering the exact same thing? Thinking someone may have tightened steering adjustment too much, to counter some other play.
Another option I see on truck forums is bad ball joints / tie rod ends can be bad in a tight, rather than loose, way. Binding up.
So it could def be a case of replacing a lot of parts to see what helps. Having been thru that with my current van -- and now it is awesome -- I don't really want to redo.
Current van did need its adjuster screw loosened, among other things, and this surprised me by NOT revealing a new underlying issue ;).
OTOH, maybe any 15 year old van will need the same front end work, just not as desperately? My hands are very picky; I bet you can relate.
PS: I, too, heart Rock Auto.
