The dealership eventually just replaced both front control arms and they’re pretty close to equal now. It drives straight now! But I’ve been fighting a rear end shudder and vibration and have already burned through 2 differentials now (30,000 miles). Plug one hole and another starts leaking…. No...

Just following up on this, the other issue I had noticed is vibrations. Seems to be at all speeds but more pronounced at highway speeds. The dealer replaced the front lower control arms which seemed to straighten things out (even now with caster back to nominal), but the vibration/shudder is the...

Agreed. When the casters were set “properly” the truck pulled right. With them offset from each other like this it drives straight. The toes aren’t that far off. Would zeroing the toe be enough to fix the root problem?
