I know this has been discussed ad nauseum...But I did not really see any responses regarding play only to one side of the steering wheel.
ALL bushings are brand new OEM. Everything torqued. TRE's are all brand new 555. Wheel bearings are brand new OEM and in tolerance. Lug nuts are tight. Steering stabilizer is new OME. I do have a 2.5" lift, but have Landtank caster correction plates. I had an alignment done and all is within spec including caster.
My truck drives super smooth down the highway. No wandering. Drives straight and tracks fine when changing lanes, etc.
My only issue is that there is a significant amount of play in the steering wheel to the right/passenger side. Basically I can move the steering wheel ever so slightly to the left and the wheels will respond. I have to move it maybe 2-3" to the right to get the same response from the wheels.
I read about the steering box adjustment, but I feel like my situation is unique because it's only really bad on one side.
Could the steering box just need replacement at this point? Something is obviously not tight somewhere to cause the amount of uneven play.
Thoughts?
