ok, so I kind of always thought my steering wheel had been a little off center toward the left ever since my alignment about 10k miles ago.

But just recently I have noticed that it's not so much off center then it is more responsive to the right side vs the left....so it would appear off to the left more because I would have to turn the wheel more to the left to get it to do the same thing compared to the right.


I.E the truck tracks and drives straight...does not pull. With the wheel centered if you turn it to the right it responds immediately, however when you turn it from center to the left it needs more input to get the same effect as the right side.

I had noticed this right after my alignment but just thought I was over looking it as I knew something had been done to the front end.... The only thing they did was adjust the front left toe...which was out. The truck has been checked again recently and the aliment is still good.


If they did no tighten everything back down to specs could this be the problem?



Any thoughts?


Btw this is on my 06 F150 34k, everything stock

 

I am a little confused by the term input. Do you mean you have to turn the wheel farther to the left for a response or does it require more effort?

 

When I turn the wheel to the left it turns more easily/ feels like it has less resistance then while turning it to the right.

 

Are your front tires wearing evenly?
Rotated regularly?
Proper air pressure?

 

Tires were just rotated 2k ago and they are wearing good, no feathering or cupping.
All 4 tires are at 37psi....btw tires are the oem general ameritrac tr with about 70-80% thread left.

 

It's possible it's the valving in the steering rack. Possibly be the Americraps too. Try rotating the tires and see if there is a difference. That's free if you do it yourself.
