Hi everyone, in need of serious advice please. 3 days ago I purchased a 2007 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi, 156k miles and a leveling kit. Lots of noise from front end I attributed to the bad mud tires it had. changed tires and it still had a shimmy in the steering wheel at hiway speeds, pulled to the left and had rotatary noises. Went to Big O for alignment and it was so bad they couldn't do it. They said both control arms with ball joints upper and lower, both inner and outter tie rod ends and my left caliper is dragging. I saw the movement of the wheel in and out when it was on the rack.
My question is: Can this all be DIY? I have a shop with air tools and compressor. Do I order a kit with everything in it? Will it fit ok cuz I know sometimes new parts don't line up with old brackets/holes. Which kit is best but not the $3700 Big O quoted? Is it worth it or just sell?
