Anybody know where to get a J-544-A Steering Gear Checking Scale used to measure the pull of a steering wheel?

Napa, Kragen, and PepBoys are no help.

My truck is wanderin...

You don,t need to be that high tech. Just tighten the bearings enough to get the play out & a slight drag.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

A $2.00 light-fish scale from any Wal-Mart works very well.

I adjusted it last night. It helped, but there is still some play. It looks like it's in the steering connecting rod. I'll adjust that later today.
