I found some damage on the upper arms. Seems the arms are weak ( likely a form of metal fatigue ). The holes for the ball joints are not able to hold them in place and the safety clips on the bottom are preventing from falling off all together. Nice to know they are there and strong enough to hold the weight.
Quick solution to that problem. I have welder, arm and balls are metal. Conclusion : next time I will need new arms either way so they are currently fused as one unit. Welding job is holding but steering is still out of whack. As I am forcing work on my other pick-up currently I have not further looked at this one. Last guess would be the lower joints. I remember that the bolt holes on the arm and ball joints did not allign fully and I cheated. Having thought about it for some time now my "cheat" was probably just a stupid thought that it would work. I am searching for a little luck to have time this weekend for as busy as its going to be to be able to at least confirm my thought on one of the lower arms.
You all out there better be staying cool. 100+ weather out here is cooking me alive while I am attempting to get things done outside.
Fushy.
