Chasing down this vibration/death wobble in my front end.....
I can't seem to locate the source... just keep swapping parts.

I wish it was that easy....apparently the tracking bar goes and a bunch of other things.......
I think I'm going to do the ball joints, draglink and then tires. Follow that up with an alignment before my trip to SC...

What kind of sneakers did you get?

Heres one for @2strokesteve89 @Mihylo33 and @ossagp

Took the 24 valve cummins in our Freightliner FL60 down for injectors because, well, at 600k when it starts missing like its got a bad injector it probably does, found this on #6, its the little plate that holds the injector in place. Got any guesses as to how it cracked like that? Its only a mechanical fuel pump.

When you got 600k then there has to be some sort of fatigue.

Loaded mine up with dirtbikes and headed south into the snow storm...

Ditto what mike said....replace all 6 of the retainers while your in there also if you replace any of the injectors you may need to record the calibration number of the injector into the PCM, if so make sure you write down the number of which injector is in relation to the cylinder. If you don't the PCM may set a code and turn on the mil.

Of course this is based on my experience with the dodge trucks, don't know if the system you have is similar to what I'm familiar with.
