Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / December 20051981 F100 Front Suspension
My 81 does not handle very well despite no obvious problems. Any suggestions such as where to start replacing parts or any available upgrades. Thanks, Rusty Have you jacked it up to look at it yet? Yes Only obvious thing I found was wheel bearings that needed tightning up. That helped a little but there is still lots of room for improvement. Stupid comments but I'm assuming you've tried the simple things such as inflating tires, alignment, etc. > My 81 does not handle very well despite no obvious problems.

Bought a truck from my father that had made it through two alignments with the cups pounded out causing the front axle to move forward and back a 1/4" Thanks, but those have already been replaced. I wonder if it could be the king pins or just the sum of a high mileage front-end. ??? Kingpins??? Ball joints, or inner / outer tie rod ends, maybe, and alignment. Your truck has an "inverted Y" steering. It can get sloppy if something's worn out. > Thanks, but those have already been replaced.
