ok so first the fan issue is that my blower works on the floor and on the defrost... but not the front face blowers. i think they were working this summer...

second is my steering. i am about to change my tirods as they are worn and the tire when on my hoist will move. so today i am going to put some cheep ones on for the winter until i can afford moog ones... but the sttering goes off to the right so when i drive im ALWAYS holding it off to the left a bit., any suggestiongs? i am going to try stop leak for the rack and pinion cause i cant afford a new rack yet and i intened on changing it after winter passes.. but should i keep my winter tires off the front because of this or what? (all seaons on front[31''x10.5/15 atm and winters on the back 265s)

 

First what year is your Dak

Second if replacing your tierod ends you will need an alignment if you can’t afford it and they are only a little lose the tierod ends that is I would wait till you can get everything in the front fixed at one time then get an alignment done.

Your air vents if the vacuum ones has a vacuum leak or your one way/check valve is not working look here for answers on that LINK

 

its a 2000 dakota v6 3.9 5 speed manual. and is it bad if i do a rope alingment at the shop?

 

If you feel you can do it the rope alignment give it a try I have never done it

That link should help with the vent problem

What is also needed new Ball joints or bushings? or what?

I ask because I have found out replacing your top ball joints can be very easy and cost you $20 each

 

yea well i can get the joints from partsource at garage cost because my mechanic i help out listed me as an apprentice to them soo i get cheap costs at a few places. and i have done a rope alignment already and figured i would do it again, or ill get a cpu one done since i have 31' tires and canadian tire will be like 80 and ill do it with my dads credit card.

 

and everything else seems to be alright. i was checking cause i had it on the hoist.. its all tight atm.. just the tirods. soo i wanted them changed. (my mechanic showed me the rope alignment he has been a mechanic for 30 years and does a **** ton of taxis and used to work at bigger garages but this is the smallest one so far.)
