Truck pulls to the left when steering wheel is straight
#11
my truck was wearing tires pretty bad. Nothing was worn, it was just very out of alignment. They fixed the toe which is all they can adjust easily. It still pulls because the caster is off. To fix that there is some shim they replace but he said it can open a can of worms. I'm no longer getting tire wear but still pulls slightly.
Just wanted to give you a heads up.

going to put on the new rod ends tomorrow if the weather isn't too crappy. anyone know what tools ill need? socket sizes? is it really as simple as i think? remove the tire, measure the distance between the grease nipples on the old ends, have a jack stand under the beam, remove the cotter pin and nut from the rod end, remove the nut from the adjusting clamp thingy, pull out the rod end, and reverse the process with the new ends?

That close, you may not have to remove the tires or put is on jackstands depending on how high your truck is. I think the nuts are 3/4 or 7/8 inch on the tie rods and 1/2 or 9/16 inch on the adjustment collar clamp. Might need a hammer or puller to "unstick" the tie rod end
