In this video I explain the commonly misdiagnosed steering issue. Many times the steering box will needlessly be replaced when in fact it is a binding Universal joint. I give a step by step procedure on the diagnosis and replacement of these joints.

Thank you for unselfishly sharing your insights and talents, young man. And linking the parts and tools for the necessary repair. I know it takes a lot of time, prep, and editing just to complete a piece like this. So, we all appreciate it. Good camera work and editing. You have a gift to teach comprehensively and an insight how to understand a non-tech would think. That is the sign of a tech who can think outside of the box. I can see you'll be a Master Tech and better. I'm not an auto technician but an HVAC contractor for 30 years. I love my (2) 06 Powerstrokes which I use (1)for work...a 2x4 utility body and (1) for play....a 4x4. Thanks again. Aloha. Keep doing what you love to do. It shows in your work.

A bit of play in the steering, had that fixed; added the missing "stablizer', and still wandering around. One search found you and I can sleep tonight knowing that my mechanic will be checking this out. THANK YOU Grasshopper, (before your time).

Unquestionaly the best instructional video I've seen on youtube. No character acting or hype. I was impressed by the way you covered all of the possible headaches and continued to stress patience. The first lesson I imparted to my own kids; If it is difficult, getting angry will not make it easier. Think it through, keep your cool and work to figure out what YOU are not understanding. It's not personal to the truck, only to you. Truck don't care how mad you get. I have my maintenance crew performing 80% of our truck repairs in the shop now, saving thouands of dollars that will be put to better use; Newer/better tools/more repairs/maintenance for the same money. Well done!

Ford pickups have been wandering the roadways ever since they left the straight axle. I had a 1981 F-350 dually.Checked everything out, everything new,including the wheels and tires which were balanced. Tried a different set of tires, same thing, wandering all over. Even got pulled over by the Mo.State Highway Patrol and given a drunk test of which I passed. The officer drove that truck and said I was ok to go. It wandered with him driving it. My uncle worked at Ford and said that they all did it. A very solid truck with lots of H.P. but loved gasoline. 220miles and 88 gallons later I arrived. It had to go. Have not bought a Ford since.

But after thinking about it more, just couldn’t shake the feeling that it had to be something else. Ended up searching KZfaq, saw this video, and knew this had to be the solution. Did the test you suggested. Sure enough the wheel wouldn’t turn. Performed the u-joint replacement today. Went perfectly thanks to your video. Truck drives so much better now. Many, many thanks!

I have an 08 F350 that currently has off center wander and the old front rubber dust seals dangling off both sides just like you described. Had one shop tell me the front end looked and felt fine, and another one that wanted to throw a new steering box at it. Glad I found this video and glad I didn't have the steering box replaced. Will be checking my front u-joints first thing this weekend. Really well done video. Thanks!

Bad design. The drivers side comes off without removing the swaybar though.

Missed the most important part . Make sure all cap bores and seal bores are clean and rust free.

Excellent thank you. My excursion has been giving me some trouble. I didn't even think of universal joints. Also thanks for going the extra mile and listing the parts.

I am currently battling this wander issue on my 1999 F250 4x4. Just installed the red head steering box and I still have this wander issue. I will check the axle shaft universal joints tomorrow. Thank you for such a detailed video with so many tips and advice. Very much appreciate it.

This was PERFECTLY TIMED! I just did some upgrades on my truck's electrical system and took it down the road and the steering is sloppy as all get out! So this is the video I am hoping to use to correct a lot of that play in it. Thanks so much for this enlightenment young man! You just made this old fart's day! :)

@@InTheShop OOPS! I just deleted what I wrote because I was responding to the wrong article. Yep that would be me...the back woods hillbilly. LOL And yes I think this is gonna be a huge help/ But getting the tools you had in this video is another story. So I might have to be super creative when I do it, plus I'm disabled so if I start that project it's probably gonna be most of the summer getting done. LOL. You know how it goes...remove a bolt and rest an hour. Then remove another then rest another hour. It wouldn't be so bad if I could be drinking a beer with each rest I take. LOL Too funny. But seriously that IS the way I have to do things anymore. I just replaced the idler wheels and pulleys and serpentine belt on this truck. Took me all week to get it done but she runs really good now and I can trust it to go a little bit longer distance than before. so that makes me happy.

Why are all the good mechanics out of my reach, LOL!! I had those ball joints changed out on my 2000 F-350 back in 2008 and WHAT A HUGE DIFFERENCE it made!!! I can tell they're due again and now I can do it myself now. That's for sharing Nate. NEW SUBSCRIBER!!! 👍👍

Great job 👏🏾 I did the same work couple years ago but without the seal tool and now my 4x4 doesn't engage automatically because maybe the seal fell :/ Watching your video is helping US to do the right job with the right tools Thank you and Good luck In every of your projects 🤙🏾
