Hey guys, could use some help, trying to track down what the problem is. My truck pulls fairly hard to the right, like if I'm at a telephone pole driving down the road halfway before I reached the next one I'd be right in the ditch if I didn't have my hand on the wheel, if that makes any sense.
Things I have done/checked:
2 of 4 tie rod ends are new, other two have no noticeable play.
New idler arm.
Pitman arm doesn't appear to have any play
No play in the steering shaft
New wheel bearing on pass. side, checked other side no play
Brand new brakes and calipers, not sticking, the pulling makes no difference if I'm braking or not.
There is play in the steering box, but would that cause a hard pulling in one direction? Can't think of anything else it could be, unless it's harder than I think to see play in a pitman arm. Even still I wouldn't have thought it would favour one direction, but I don't know much about this stuff.
Any ideas, or is there something stupid I'm missing here? Truck has been aligned not long ago and it did it before and after the alignment. If I could adjust the steering box would that help, or is that even possible on these trucks?
Thanks in advance, and yes tire pressure is good on both sides haha.
