Right now your turn signal probably cancels before straight going one way and doesn't cancel the other way
Thx Special-K, I took the draglink off the pitman arm and adjusted the steering wheel as suggested but couldn't adjust the draglink due to too much caked on dirt and grease so I took the draglink off (after fighting to get it off the steering arm) and cleaned all the crap off it then reinstalled. While I was at it, I cleaned and adjusted the toe in on the tie rod as it was way out too. Thanks so much for the help!!! I love this forum and you Rock!
