Steering Issue
« on: April 07, 2014, 04:13:06 pm »
My steering wheel will roll to the right if i let go of it. The truck drives perfectly srtaight if the wheel is held. Is this a wheel allignment issue or a steering box tuning issue? This happened because i was driving with a slowly leaking tire on my front passenger wheel.

     If your front passenger tire is not flat now, you need to check the steering components to make sure everything is lined up.  I would not guess your steering box is out of adjustment or alignment because you drove around with a tire that was low.
     Did it steer straight before the tire issue ?

if you wore the tire down odd it will pull to that side even air up.
