steering issue
Hi All,
Over the last couple days (I will do my best to describe issue) I noticed that when driving and making ***some*** turns, the steering wheel will not return all the way. You can feel tension, and I have to return it to center. I dont hear any grinding, clunking....no noises. Where would you start to look for problems? I was thinking of just replacing the steering stablizer first, as it is original and see if that helps. Any other suggestions welcome...

I see by his sig,that is a 4x4 ,and you have a plow.
The extra weight of the plow can cause steering parts to wear at a faster rate.
Start by checking the front balljoints and u-joints for binding.
What do your front tires look like? any scaloping or uneven wear pattern?
Actually any worn steering component can cause this.
