On the way home from Coos Bay my moho was wandering and
required constant attention to keep it in the lane.
Today we inspected the front end with my wife wiggling
the steering wheel while I was under the coach looking
for loose parts.
It seems that the tie rod end was loose where it
slides into the tapered hole in the knuckle.
The tie rod end has probably been loose for a while.
Question: Has anyone checked to see if the original GMC
tie rod ends have the same taper as the K3500 One-Ton knuckle?
And does the K3500 knuckle have to be reamed with the correct taper?
Thanks,
Bill
