09 steering issue
I have a 2009 screw with ~60k miles. It is used for DD and tows our small camper or my flat deck w/jeep.
The other day I noticed an issue when turning right. The wheel gets hard to turn and does not want to return to center. There is also a low speed clunk you can feel in the steering wheel/column itself.
The truck is at the dealer now and they said the rack needs to be replaced and there is something in the column they need to replace too. I have the extended warranty, so this is all but covered 100%. I just have a deductible to pay.
I have not hit anything with the truck, so I am not sure what caused these issues.
Any thoughts?

Picked up the truck yesterday.
They replaced the steering column, gear, and rack and pinion.
Thankfully I purchased an extended warranty, so I only paid $200.00.
This single incident has justified the extended warranty; glad I purchased it.
Still not sure what caused all this to fail when it did. Not sure if towing added stress to the steering.
Glad to have it all back now, so I can get the camper from storage and start spring cleanup.

Is there any known issues with the 09 steering column?

Not that I am aware of. They replaced mine under warranty, and all is better now.
