You can be setting still spin the steering wheel (fling it) and it will go all the way right or left. Mods include new V code that have been on for around 6 months now and 35" tires. This is a new problem and did not show up for months after the new tires.

Also it will also not recenter while going down the road this sounds like something sticking, but tried with out stabilizer and no change plus back to its too easy to steer?

No pulling one way or the other. No new parts at all. fluids okay.

Thanks for any input
