Steering Not Centered
My truck normally goes in a straight line with no hands on the wheel, but the past week or so I've been having to keep the steering wheel turned to the right so that the truck goes straight. Does anyone know what would cause this to happen? It got real bad veering off to the left after I rotated the tires front to back. I would really like to get this fixed so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

If it just happened after rotating the tires, I would suspect that you have either much lower air pressure in the left front, or the tire itself is bad.
However, my '85 Bronco ALWAYS pulled to the right when I had BFG AT's on it. As soon as I put a different brand of tire on (Michelin) it stopped pulling.

I have Wrangler RT/S's(?) on right now. It didn't pull when I first put the tires on. It started pulling to the right about a week ago, then it went to the left when I rotated them. It could be the air pressure since I didn't check them very good, or maybe it's just because they're not balanced? Oh well, my dad's truck does the same thing so I guess I'll just try and get used to it if I can't fix it.

check all the pressures to make sure that the front two have the same pressure and that the back two have the same pressure. other than that you could always go get your alignment done.. they might be able to solve the prob.
