The carnage for me at WW. Ripped off the front skid pad on the front bumper, the muffler back, blew the seals on the steering gear box, and bent the steering tie rod. And assisted in putting a tire back on a yota after it fell off.





There is a pic of my steering setup, what do I need to correct?

Edit: That track bar drop bracket needs to go, that was what led to the only DW problem I've had with mine.

Actually I was wrong, I just looked at the picture again. Lose the Track bar drop bracket, that was the problem I had with mine. Getting rid of that should line your track bar up with your drag link.

It's all power steering fluid. Lol. Now do I have something lined up wrong, since I keep wearing big holes in my steering stabilizer boot?
