long and poorly wrote, but heres the story
Well this all started on July 4th when I went to a buddies house for celebrations. I was dead tired and pulled into his drive way then cranked the steering wheel to the right. Now mind that the tires didnt turn right but I left the wheel that way. So after staying awake thirty four hours I slepted at his house for eight hours and left the wheel cranked to the right. Now fast forward to the next day. I'm driving home and turning left is normal but turning right is wayyy loose but still turns past the 2 O-clock position. I'm thinking ok fine I'll just adjust it later. Fast forward again! Three weeks later I attempt to replace my passenger side control arm bushings... Well damn I have to grind the bolts off!, including the cam bolt. After removing the rusted solid chunks of bolt and sheet metal. I place some ell cheapo bolts in their place (cam bolt is no longer locked into place with the washer) and called it good until I buy new bolts. SOO after a week from the bushing replacements, in order to turn right, the steering wheel has to be past the 3-4 O-clock position in order to turn right!
I've checked all of the tie rods, bushing up front and nothing seems out of the norm. I now fear if I keep driving I'm going to lose my steering control. Whats wrong here????
Also if someone could find these cam bolts with washers cheaper then this "http://www.spohn.net/shop/1994-1999...e-1994-1999-Dodge-Ram-4x4-1500-2500-3500.html" I would be greatful.
