Consumer Description
WHEN DRIVING DOWN ROAD CONSTANTLY MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO RIGHT AND OR STEERING WHEEL BEING HELD TO OR AROUND 1 OR 2 O'CLOCK POSITION JUST TO GO STRAIGHT. WHEN STEERING TO LEFT STEERING WHEEL IS TIGHTER THEN WHEN STEERING TO RIGHT. STEERING BOX NEEDS REPLACED AND OR REBUILT. TRUCK ONLY HAS ALITTLE OVER 60000 MILES ON IT. CONSTANTLY CHASING STEERING WHEN DRIVING DOWN ROAD. CITY STREETS AND LEFT LANE OF HIGHWAYS ITS EXTREMELY NOTICABLE. HAD TRUCK ALIGNED AND ALIGNMENT SHOP SAYS ALIGNMENT IS DEAD ON. AFTER READING MULTIPLE AND MULTIPLE FORUMS AND OTHER INFORMATION ONLINE, THIS IS A EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS YET NO RECALL TO FIX.
