I don't have the option of doing that either. That would put my truck down for the count for at least a couple of weeks. My dad currently has to rely on mine to get to work because the brakes just kind of stopped working entirely on his truck. Pedal just drops to the floor, nothing happens.


If I put mine on stands and start working on the steering linkages he won't be able to get to work.


I am fixing it as best I can. Six months ago the ball joints in the I-beams that hold the knuckles on were so badly fubar that the tires had about 3-4 degrees of negative camber and would flop around like crazy. The steering had about half a turn of play in it then. We put new ones in it as soon as we could afford to and we didn't have to rely on it just to get to work...and matter of fact the next thing that will be addressed will be those very lnikages. But to change them we need to save up the $150 or so the alignment shop will want to set the camber and toe(We just eyeballed the camber when we changed the balljoints, it's close enough for now) on top of the cost of buying the parts, and that will have to wait until after we put $300 worth of brake parts into the other F150. It may be another year before I get those linkages changed, longer still if I manage to land a 9-5 of my own and have to commute with it.


I'm well aware of that. I wouldn't have gotten to 300,000 miles if I didn't take care of it.
