| Description of the problem | I drove off the highway and it felt like the truck was steering itself. I had this steering problem since it was new- dealer said it was tire balance and later shocks- but " we won't throw parts at it"- a independent shop replaced the tie rod and the steering veering off stopped. The problem was noticeable when i was driving and going around curves- the truck was hard to control- shook and needed steering help. *nm |
