Steering Issues

I have 06 250 6.0 with a factory level kit and 35x12.50 tires on it. I have what I consider to be an abnormal amount of play in the steering wheel and what also feels like drift in the truck. I am curious is a steeriing stabilizer could help fix my issue. Anyone have any thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks!

Probably not. Steering stabilizers do not help loose steering. Besides, your truck already has a factory steering stabilizer.

It sounds like your front suspension and steering need to be inspected. You have some worn parts. The 35X12.50 tires just wear out the front suspension and steering components that much quicker.

What is a "factory level kit?"
