Steering problem -96B400

Took my buggy off road a few days ago(always fun..but it seems everytime I play....I PAY...) anyway since then when ever I go around a lefthand curve at a certain point the truck wants to pull to the left I have to fight the wheel to prevent it from pulling me into oncomming traffic (not fun) I checked underneath for anything noticeable but nothing..first thoughts was the stablizer bar but it looks to be fine I cant find any cracks in it. Any ideas as to what else I should check. thanx

I'd say it's time to check the truck into a shop for a front end alignment. How hard did you "play"? It sounds to me like your front end is maybe toed out. There are a number of things that could be bent and cause this.

doing more investagation I think I have a bad wheel bearing causing the steering pull. I am able to move the wheel and it has some play which is usually a bad bearing? unless it could be the manual hubs? If hubs go would I get wheel play? If it is wheel bearings how are they to replace do I need any special tools/pullers/etc..
