I was working on my truck and just noticed the passenger side of my center link was way higher than driver side. My truck has been recently binding while turning every once in a while. After doing research I learned I'm not the first person to experience this.

From what I'm reading I guess the frame tabs where your idler arm bracket bolt in get bent forward and cause this problem.

Is anyone familiar with this problem?

 

hey there, I have the exact same issue man. I’ve replaced the idler bracket , idler arm , tie rods , pitman arm. Still no fix I also believe the mount bent while off-road. If you pry on the center link downwards you’ll see how much flex the frame mount actually has.


See how mine is also sitting like yours

 

Kryptonite has a brace for that bracket on the 2500/3500's But I don't think they have one that fits 1500 frames.

Still wouldn't be hard to make a brace similar to it though.
