Steering
03 King ranch Fx4
Steering got real easy all of a sudden and it won't return to center while driving. It seems as its too easy to turn. While driving down the road if u turn either direction and let go of the wheel it continues in that direction. It does not pull to either side while driving straight. Any suggestions?

I haven't had a problem with mine but here's a thread with the same issue and a LOT of posts. Might have some good insight if you haven't seen it already:

Every thing under the front seems to be good. Its not hanging up or sticking. Its just very easy to turn and has no back pressure. Its hard to explain. Easiest way to tell you is drive your truck and turn left or right then turn loose your steering wheel. It will automaticly return to center. Mine doesn't return.

Mine was doing the exact same thing. Got real bad to the point it was dangerous cause it wouldn't really return to center. And when it finally returned to center you were almost in the ditch. Swapped out front axle ujoints and all better. Have you had them checked?
