2004 Precedent Excessive Wheel Play
I have a 2004 Precedent with a Jake's Spindle lift. the pass tire has a lot of play in the king pin and the upper shock mount.
The wheel also turns further than the drivers side when the steering wheel is turned all the way to the right. does this sound like the steering box a worn king pin or a worn (or bent) spindle? Thanks! |

Re: 2004 Precedent Excessive Wheel Play
It sounds like you've got some worn out front end parts which explain all of the play in the spindle and clevis. The steering sounds like an improperly adjusted steering box or front end alignment. Was the steering box centered and was the front end aligned when the lift kit was installed? When installing a lift kit, the steering box needs to be centered, the threads on both tie rod ends need to be the same on both sides, and the toe setting needs to be adjusted until 1/8" toe in is achieved, all while keeping an equal thread count on the steering box. Otherwise you're going to steer too far in one direction (whichever side has the most threads showing). For now, your wear issue needs to be repaired before a front end alignment is attempted. If you attempt to align it now you're not doing any good because you have so much movement in the front suspension.
