Memory steer

MEMORY STEER PROBLEM

I have an Ford F250 that I put a level kit with 37 inch tires on and now I have horrible memory steer. When you go around a corner the steering wheel will only return to about the 10:00 or 2:00 O' clock position, also if you just steer the truck anywhere between 10 and 2 O' clock position it will just stick there and you have to turn it back. Below I have listed all the lift parts that were installed and all the parts that were replaced to try and fix the problem.

VEHICLE

[ ] 2021 Ford F250 lariat Tremor crew cab short bed powerstoke diesel 45k miles


WHEELS and TIRES
