Crooked Steering Wheel

Does it do it on all roads? Many vehicles will do this on crowned roads.

Does a different driver drive this truck at times? maybe a young teen? Sounds to me like someone hit a curb or something with the frontend. Some roads are pretty rough lately, maybe you have hit a bad pot hole or two. You did not mention if the truck has always had this problem.

No, no other drivers. It just recently developed the problem, which is why I'm puzzled about it. I don't remember any potholes that I hit hard enough to cause something like this and I'm sure I didn't hit any curbs.

Add up the wearable parts on the front end. Then total the' little wears' for each component, realizing that for ~6-7 years it has been driven, and wearing, while possibly rolling along a road crowned down to the right and with steer. wheel being pulled--ever so slightly--to the left to offset the crown, and it can very well be there from normal wear. (If the wear concerns you, and with only 51k miles on a '99, I'd love to relieve your concerns by purchasing it.;) HTH, s

If not worn or broken parts, check for tire pressure if you havent allready.

A low tire can cause it.
