F250 Handling problem
I have a 2001 F250 4x4 PS Diesel with 35,900 miles.
Previously I had trouble with the trucks steering- they replaced the front ball joints at about 32,000. The front steering did get better when they replaced the ball joints. It was still bad but I never felt like I would lose control. I rotated the tires and I immediately had 2 flat tires. I had to replace one tire so decided to replace 2 and put them on the rear. Now the truck is almost impossible to control when turning on curves with very little turning of the wheel. The faster I am driving of course the worse it is. On the highway at 70 MPH at times I have to back off very quickly to keep control. It feels like the rear of the truck comes over during the turn and keeps right on going. I have been off on the berm and even had problems staying in my lane. The truck does not want to steer well. Basically this happens when changing lanes or going around curves.
Any help would be great.
