I took my bus to Doyle's Alignment shop in Ft. O yesterday and had the front end aligned. It drives a whole lot straighter now but there's still a lot of play in the steering wheel. I had a tie rod that was slightly bent and he was able to straighten it out a bit. He also said my drag link is completely worn out and that is most likely the source of my steering wheel slop. He said I could replace it and it wouldn't affect the alignment. Is this something I can do myself or do you need special tools and a lift? Looks like you can get new drag links for about $55, which isn't too bad.

Thanks, Brian! If you're at CYW this weekend we can talk more about it then.

Russ, its easy to do. That was one of the first things I had to do to my bus when I started driving it. its just 2 castle nuts, then lay the old one next to the new one and make sure they are the same length, then  bolt the new one on and your done! there is a cover that goes over all that but its like 6 bolts to remove. Very simple.

Well, Loaf helped. All I did was beat on stuff...
