Steering Issue

06 F250 6.0. Going down the road, the steering wheel will pull to one side then if I try to correct it, it will pull to the other side. Much worse pulling a trailer. Any Ideas. 46000 miles and I plow with it. Thanks

Sounds like what mine did until yesterday--I got an allignment and learned the toe was off a bit. But, the tech said he didn't think that would make the truck pull either way.

Sounds like maybe it's like my problem. See "steering darts violently" post.

It could be ball joints, stabilizer, lots of things.

Gotta get under and check for looseness, and remove the stabilizer and take it for a drive.

Report back.

Need lots of info. Miles. What's been done to it. Tires. Had new ball joints? Do it all the time?
