Toe in and tire pressure are good, I haven't check chamber. I do drive it like a F1. 65K - original shocks.   Leslie N.

Toe, air-pressure, rotating, shocks, which tires you have, those are the things you can control.... -L   Brian O'Connor (Hooky) Member Username: Hooky Post Number: 42 Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Thursday, December 11, 2003 - 02:31 pm:    did this start after or before Thanksgiving dinner?

Kind of a all season/all terrian type of tire. I do 99% street and 1% off road.   Victor Biro (Vabiro) Member Username: Vabiro Post Number: 45 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Thursday, December 11, 2003 - 03:34 pm:    Hi Dave, I just had the same problem with my '98 D1. It turned out that I had crushed the right rear sway bar mount while out on some rocky trails. I didn't notice it at the time and went on a 2500km trip. By the end of the trip the inside edge of my tires were almost bald. While I was at my mechanic he notice the crushed sway bar mount and that my right swivel ball seal and a ball joint were in need of replacement, He fixed them and I put on a new set of tires, and 3500km later everything is running great. The truck also seems much more stable on the highway and less prone to cross-winds.

I would though ditch those shocks they are toaasted...my front ones lasted less than 30k
