I got the 88 rolling and carried it to the alignment shop. It has all of 14 miles on it post-SAS but it feels kinda sloppy. I got the toe in to about 1/8" and it runs true, no death wobble even without a steering stabilizer. i did notice that when i turn left, the right side of the truck dips down and vice versa, camber related I am certain. It goes lock to lock easily and runs straight down the road. the issue is that as the suspension flexes is seems to want to change steering angle, which would be "bump steer". When I crossed railroad tracks this morning it nearly changed lanes on me but it did not get all squirrelly on me and skate out of control. I was expecting it to do that so I was ready. Truck recovered very well. Will adding a stabilizer decrease the bump steer tendency? The tie rod and drag link are parallel and level at center so it's not a pitman angle issue.
By loose or sloppy, I mean there is no real resistance to the steering wheel when turning. The truck feels lazy, not responsive to steering input. I know it obviously ain't no Corvette so some degree of latency is to be expected. Anyway, here it is all buttoned up, for now anyway..
