  • Today we're going to look into why the D150 has so much slop in the wheel. It was just aligned before leaving for a 1700 mile trip on Hot Rod Power Tour.

    Seems like, as of lately, my luck is as good as yours. I've come to the conclusion I'm going to teach myself as much as I can.

      100% It really does seem like you have to do everything yourself these days if you want it done right at all. Never stop learning.

    On your steering box there should be a jamb nut and Allen nut that will allow you take up some of the slop in the steering box. Also consider replacing your rag joint or upgrading it with a borgeson rag joint elimator.

      I'll look into the rag joint eliminator. Thanks for the info. Once I get the alignment I might try to tune up the box a little and see if it makes any change. Thanks for watching.

    Great to see the new parts seem to have fixed the steering issue. Absolutely disgusting to see the sloppy, and truly dangerous and scary, bad work and complete lack of quality control that could have been potentially deadly for you and/or someone else. That's just freakin' wrong. Somebody involved needs to know for sure. Look forward to seeing more. Be safe and stay well.

      Agreed. It's pretty shocking. I'll have a chat with them and try to at least make sure it doesn't happen to someone else.

    I’ve had my fair share of problems with “professional” shops.

    Let's be honest, a CRV is really almost undefinable. Its like a car-truck-van-wagon-jeep-gocart? Cartruvagoneep? Mine's slightly newer than yours but I've literally used it for all sorts of stupid and not-so-stupid things. 😂

      Yeah man. CR-V's are great. I've taken mine down some crazy Jeep trails full of camping gear and it's been awesome. I've had this car longer than any other vehicle I've ever owned. CR-V for life👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
