Sup guys my 95 has just under 200k miles on it good truck rust free all original no lift kit or anything really done to it but almost 2 years ago now I rebuilt almost the entire front end got a kit from 1A Auto included everything from idler arm bracket and idler arm pitman arm center drag tie rods sleeves whole upper control arms lower ball joints sway bar bushings links etc all moog parts I've only put 30k miles on the truck since doing the work along with new factory size tires as well and it drove fantastic better than ever but since then I've had to replace the idler bracket again and it needs to be replaced once more alread but the truck drives terribly to me the best way to explain it is to say it feels like it's about to fall apart but that idler bracket is the only slack I can find anywhere up front, the locks have been punched out and i replaced both sides with new caster/camber bolts nuts and the plates, now in the rear my leaf springs are very weak and I need to replace the shackle bushings there but any tips or ideas on what to do from this point i really like my truck but hate to drive it because of how it handles now so i just leave it parked unfortunately Thanks
 
Yeah- recheck all of it as if you just bought a used truck.

Sometimes a bolt didn’t get torqued down all the way so check those too
