2000 F350 7.3 120k purchased new...CALLING ALL FRONT END SPECIALIST!! I have replaced upper/lower ball joints each side twice and hub/wheel bearing each side twice over the years. Not to mention I continually chew up the inside tread on a $225 tire. Is this normal for this truck. I know its heavy but$$$$$$$. I'm starting to think this may have something to do with my after market rims and tires (33x12.5x16.5). Any help?

Thanks, Mark

If it is do you have a drop pitman arm?...

Rick, no mods to the suspension, so no need for pitman drop. It just seems like way to much maintenance on this front end. Seems like every 20-25k something...ball joints or wheel bearing need replaced. My alignment guy loves me, and so does my tire guy.

Maybe you need a different brand of parts?....
