Drag link?

[frndofbill]

so i went on a wheelin/camping trip this last weekend and bent the crap out of my draglink. limped to a junkyard and swapped it with one from a dead jeep. still pulling hard left and front left tire screeching while driving. also tracking quite bad.i did notice some play when i jacked it up so replaced left side hub assembly but it did not seem to help much. any ideas? dont want to rebuild one part at a time guessing whats wrong

Sounds like you need to start with an alignment.

Yeah, and where was the play coming from? Jack it up again and with out turning the wheel kinda jiggle the wheel back and forth before you go for an alignment (or do it your self using the line method) make sure all your t.r.e's are good

Also check the axle shaft u joints, shake those shafts! Lol just try and jiggle them by hand and see if there is play there they should move at all

Check your ball joints for play too
