Duramax Tie Rod, Pitman, and Idler Upgrade With Father John! (Elvis The LBZ)

What happens here

After all new steering and suspension components have been installed and torqued to specification, reattach the wheels and securely lower the truck from the jack stands. Take the truck for a test drive, paying close attention to the steering feel, responsiveness, and any unusual noises. The presenter notes a significant improvement, stating the truck now feels like 'a whole new truck,' much tighter and more responsive, crediting the new sway bar poly bushings for a large part of this enhancement. For optimal performance and tire longevity, schedule a professional wheel alignment as soon as possible after completing the repair.

Goal: Verify the successful installation and improved steering performance.

Tools and materials

  • Floor Jack — Lowering the truck safely
  • Torque Wrench — Tightening lug nuts and other fasteners to manufacturer specifications
