| So there I was, Gettin the bus out for the first time this year. What a wonderful day it was too. (for michigan anyway) Turns out I had to get some ceramic tile, so I pick up eleven boxes and equally displace the weight througout the bus. I drive 45 minutes, within 5 minutes of my destination I take a right onto my road and the front passenger wheel feels flat/not tight/wobbly. I get out check those three ideas, it's none of the above. So i'm thinking it's a tie rod. Whats the best way to check all the possibilities when i don't have a helper near by? |

Thats funny I just put my Bus back on the road on Tuesday, in Michigan as well!! And I drove it 45 minutes to go pick up some engine parts for my Thing.
Sounds like you have a bad tie rod end, or maybe a bad balljoint or two. Jack up the front end of your bust, turn your steering wheel till it locks, and then grab the wheel that you want to check and wiggle it from left to right and up and down and see if you have any movement in the tie rod ends or ball joints, if they are sloopy they are bad.
Where in Michigan are you? You may have a helper closer than you think. |
