Question Ball Joints

Talked to dealer today about my symptoms, he said ball joints are too tight? Symptoms are steering wheel pulls severely to right and when I turn a corner the steer wheel will not come back to center on its own, I have to pull fairly hard to get it back to center. I did a search but could not find the symptoms I'm having. If it is ball joints(which I think it is) how much to replace with aftermarket ones like MOOG? TIA! 06 250 6.0 4x4 only 42,000 mi.

check and make sure your hub is not locked first I think that might cause the problem.

That was my first thought, cause that was what it was acting like, the hub locked, so took tire off, turned the rotor, u-joint did not move, turned lockout to lock, turned rotor, u-joint moved, so that eliminated the hub Thanks for the reply
