Suspension This is why you should go in the proper order

These are my rear leaf spring bushings - worn out!!

Steering issues taken care of so far:
-Wheel to steering shaft was very loose. The bushing in the column was missing, fabricated one
-the steering shaft u-joint was very loose - replaced steering shaft
-steering gear was loose, adjusted input play (large nut behind steering shaft input) as well as the pitman arm play (adj thru bumper)
-replaced worn out front leaf spring busings (should have immediately gone to rear bushings...oh well)
-added 4 degree caster wedges to front axle (this made the biggest difference and allowed me to feel that now my steering issues are a resilt of the rear of the vehicle wandering around)
-new BF Goodrich All Terrain T/As
-replace worn/missing bushings for steering stabilizer

-rear bushings being delivered today - hard part (melting the old ones out) is already done, just waiting on new parts


I just stuck the bolts back in without the bushings so it can rest on it's suspension til parts get here.
