steering box tightened? Bushing kit?
so here in about a week when i get paid again i would like to restore all frame, chasis, suspension, bushings...
anyone know a site that has a full bushing kit for everything??? or am i gonna have to order piece by piece? i would like to get back really good ride quality. right now every bump on the road herks and jerks truck and u feel everything...
today i climbed under and noticed idler arm i could just shake it(click click noise), so i tightened it down and i went ahead and finally tightened my steering box( could probably turn steering wheel 4-5in before wheel turned), after doing this i can feel alot more of the road thru the steering wheel, i like it better , only thing im not sure about is when i hit potholes or off angles parts of road, the truck wants to turn that direction and i either have to hold steering wheel really tight or straigten back alot...
is that normal? or is it just the fact that most my bushing being stock and no good, truck being out of alignment causing it?
i really wanna get this straigtened out before i start lift!

I doubt there is a master bushing kit. Best place might be Napa or www.rockauto.com
As for the wonder it could be anything bad bushings, tie rod, ball joints, bad alignment. Even the steering box you may have OVER tightened it.
