| In may of 2004 my idler arm was loose, and i had it replaced. i started to notice excessive and uneven wear on my front tires by october 2004. around thanksgiving i was driving up my street, and lost control of my truck as i drove around a curve and almost hit oncoming traffic. i did not crash, but i had the lower ball joints and the idler arm replaced again, and then new tires put on the truck. over the past few months i have noticed a popping sound in the front end, and uneven wear on the front tires again. the steering is loose, and around curves it seems to slip, and i feel as though i am about to loose control. *jb | |||
