2003 4X4 Steering problem
I just purchased a 2003 4X4 F250 Diesel. When going down the highway, I get a feeling of over steer. There seems to be a little steering wheel movement before the truck responds. I have checked the ball joints and they feel tight. The lowers are greaseable so I greased those. Someone has mentioned a steering sensor, but I haven't located that yet.
Any ideas guys would be appreciated. Thanks Jim

Welcome to FTE! Steering sensor? Maybe they meant a steering stabilizer?
Also, you may want to have your alignment checked. A bad caster angle can cause the steering to feel twitchy with no "on center" feel.

If an alignment shop told you the caster and camber are fixed and cannot be adjusted, run away fast.

Thanks Laredo. We were under it last night and it appears tight everywhere.
There appears to be some play in the steering gear box. I think I'll make an appoint at the Dealer and have it checked. Thanks Jim
