Help With Steering ????

[diggin69]

This sounds bad, but my wife drove my truck the other day it hasent been right since.... If you drive straight the wheel feels like it has play in it, If you turn then half through the turn you go to staighten out the wheels still want to make a turn, have to fight the wheel a little....

What could this be, bad ball joint or something, as of now I have no clue.

Thanks for any help, oh yea it dosent do it all the time either.....

Get under the front of the truck and watch the steering components as someone turns the wheel inside. Look for anything that binds or pops or has alot of play. Replace anything thats worn. Then get an alignment. If you don't see anything worn under there, you might want to check the steering column and steering box. Make sure the power steering pump is full of fluid and the belt is tight.
