front end problems

I have a problem with my F350 4x4 crew, as I drive the truck lurches to the right like the tire is coming loose. It will do this for miles, then when you stop at the light, and then go again it has no problems, for days of weeks. when I jack the truck up every thing is tight nothing is loose. I had this problem a year ago in Texas, had it checked out said every thing was fine. Problem showed back up a week ago and has done so repeatedly, I jacked it up and all seams tight. Help...

Bring it to a different shop and maybe they will diagnose it. Try the dealer or a front end place they may be familiar with the problem. Most of them charge less than a hundred bucks to check it, better than spending a lot of time and effort to figure it out yourself.

By the way, is that rd350 reffering to a yamaha motorcycle? I had a couple of them way way back in the day they are super fast with that 2 stroke engine.

sounds like a frozen front axle joint,or a tight ball joint. from what you are saying it probably isn't something loose but something tight. start looking in that direction
