Consumer Description

THE TRUCK WANDERS LEFT AND RIGHT WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. SINCE NEW, THE STEERING HAS SEEMED "VAGUE". THE PLAY IN STEERING WHEEL CAN BE 4" BEFORE TURNING THE TRUCK, THIS MAY VARY. THE STEERING SEEMS "RUBBERY". I HAVE HAD THE FRONT WHEELS ALIGNED TWO TIMES. THE DEALER CAN DO NO MORE; THEY HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB OF BRINGING THE TRUCK INTO "SPECS". A SQUARE "LINKAGE TUBE" WAS REPLACED, WHICH PROVIDED LITTLE OR NO IMPROVEMENT. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, CONSTANT CORRECTION IS REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN A SEMBLANCE OF A STRAIGHT PATH. THIS PROBLEM MUST BE REPAIRED BEFORE ONE OF THE MANY COMPLAINANTS RUNS OFF THE ROAD.*AK
