Steering bad - Stranded?
Hey,
Here is my situation, maybe you guys can help me figure out if this is as serious as I think it is.
My steering has always seemed a little loose to me, compared to my wifes truck and other vehicles I've driven.
Well today on a trip out of town, I noticed on the freeway that the truck began to pull, either one way or the other, and when i would attempt to correct it the truck would jerk in the other direction.
I pulled off the road and checked my tie rods... they seem to be loose. I can twist the arm and there is a fair amount of play in it. Do I have back tie rod ends?
Here is my other question... how serious is this? Can I still drive the truck albeit cautiously? Or am I stranded. This is my only ride except for my motorcycle and now in AZ the weather is over 100 degrees... so I dont really want to ride my bike.
Please help me out. Anyone know what this will cost me to fix if this really what is wrong? Thanks.
