Good morning Mossberg owners.
I wasn't happy with the front end on the truck and I took the driver's side apart again.
The passenger side was sitting high and I found out an extra rubber bushing had been stuck on top of the right shock, lifting the right side a bit.
Because the left front of the truck is heavier than the right, it sat a little low, and this combination threw the alignment off to the point there was not enough adjustment.
Once that mislocated rubber was gone, steering improved, but it wasn't good until I put 1/2" preload on the left front spring that the alignment came back in.
With one snail cam adjustment and 3 short trial runs to adjust the toe-in and center the wheel, it steers like new again.
I'm so happy! This issue was driving me nuts, and two trips to the alignment shop hadn't resolved it. because I got it sorted so well, that a professional alignment can't improve it much, I'm inclined to wait until Wednesday when the shops aren't too busy.
Meanwhile I'm going to go blow the dust offa my motorcycle and take it for a ride. It hasn't been out in months.
Sometimes you just have to take things into your own grimey hands before they become clear.
