What could have caused this.

If somebody gave you a price of $2,000 to replace those rear bushings that's outrageous. Even if it includes replacing the torque arms, that's still outrageous.

They should charge you maybe 200 to 250 per bushing.

They are not hard to do at all yourself even if you have a torch.

Maybe I'm assuming, but you have a Freightliner with the regular airliner suspension, right?

 

Yeah, it’s very simple, but many people don’t know that.

 

I have a couple here in Phoenix, but they are at least a week out.

 

Before learning how to replace shocks, I thought one needed to jack up the truck. It came as a surprise to me once I watched a YouTube video.

 

That's the nice difference between cars and these big buggers, you don't need the jack as often

 

Those are Loves Brand tires. I’ve had very good luck with them,(2 only) steers ran on trailer.

 

If you get near Glendale Ky, The Goodyear Shop at Pilot 1-65 exit 86. They did mine, I bought the parts. Very reasonable, they have the proper air tool, made for the job. Ask for William, Great Guy!!!

 

I had that...front end was said to be good but the driver complained he was always pushing on one side of the wheel to go straight down the road.

Had the rears aligned = happy driver. shop replaced the differential torque arms and re-aligned all three axles.
