2012 f450 steering? Issue
Anyone have any idea why the truck is doing this? Truck has 120000 miles on it.
dealer recently replaced ball joint. (it drove like this before ball joint being replaced)
And a dampener was replaced today.

looks like bump steer to me.
is the truck lifted? if it is, it has the wrong size track bar bracket re-location
oEM dampers are pretty weak.....my truck dud that after my lift with the oem damp until I replace the oem damper with a fox 2.0 damper.
but to answer your question, the bump steer is cuased by linkages that are moving slightly vertical when they were designed to move horizontal. once the geometry changes thru modifications, worn front springs, etc, what was a pure horizontal motion becomes slightly vertical. steering wheel moves in response.
