What could have caused this.

You mean I-70 in Indiana. Have they started fixing that stretch? Last time I was there was over a month ago. God, I almost bounced off the freeway!

 

It is a good idea to balance steers but the rear shocks and bushings seem to be the important part. Rear shocks going bad seem to be ignored when it comes to straight axle vehicles, this applies to cars and pickups too when they had straight axles.

 

Mine didn’t get balanced before installing centramatics. I have no tire issues on my steers. Now, bad leaf spring bushings and shocks can mess up your tires good. Shocks, by the way, are some of the easiest things you can do yourself on your truck. No need to pay anyone. By now, YouTube should have dozens of instructional videos.

 

No, they do not need to be balanced. I would take this to a different shop to get a 2nd opinion.

 

If you need YouTube to change shocks, you'd better get someone else to do them.

 

Its slowly getting better... I-70 East of Indy over to Ohio isn't nowhere as bad as it used to be- Not sure of the West side over to Terre Haute, Been awhile cant remember.

 

Honestly? I would expect a 10yo to be able to look at a shock and know how it comes off.
YouTube videos are great. I've used them on multiple occasions. I just think shocks are self explanatory.

 

Which spring bushings are bad? Front or rear?
