Cracked Chassis
Posted: Mon May 02, 2005 6:51 pm
Just got my truck (1996 3.1TD Jackaroo) back from the shop after they repaired a cracked chassis.
Put in to get the steering arm knuckles replaced, & they found it also had a cracked chassis under the steering box & where the front lower wishbone attaches to the chassis.
Anyone else had or heard of this problem?
Was told the worst thing to cause this was turning the wheels when stationary , as it torques up the chassis at this point from above & below due to the design.
