Most shops want to set the caster to 3 3.5 degrees ... The truck needs 6 or more degrees .. The caster pulls the wheel to center ...

I haven't worked on a gear box like that in a long time. Older VW's had similar... is it the balls or the channels that get pitted and jam. Can't believe I've forgotten this... I'm not that old (I think).

Yep, had to replace my steering gear on my SuperDuty at around 160,000 miles with Cardone unit. But there is still a little bit of wandering and steering wheel has about a 10 degree slop to it. New stabilizer added at same time as steering gear.

My 2014 f250 steering dose some extremely odd things when it chooses to. When turning certain turns I’m guessing after hitting multiple bumps the steering wheel won’t stay straight and when I attempt to correct the wheel it kind of quickly pulls either way. When I slam in the brakes it clears up and drives back to normal. One thing I did notice is before this happens my steering seems to get very loose and seems off. Any help??? I did change track bar, then steering stabilizer, now I’m at a loss. Any help will be much appreciated.

Redhead makes custom made steering boxes for Fords that eliminate the steering wonder. Steering becomes like being on a rail.

I have a 2010 lexus es 350 my steering wheel wont return to center. Recently i got driver side axle replaced and it was broken in half smh. Dealership sold it to me like that found out it wasn't even inspected. They shifted the cross member to fix caster issue machine showed it was in the green . Im having handling issue mostly when turning like trying to park its noticable. What could it be at first I thought it was off tracking

I started to work in a Garage, they have pretty much good business but I never see using Torque Wrench but always they use more long leverage to tighten Nuts & Bolts. It's a bit confusing if proper Torque is very necessary which is, then why they don't have come backs often or Vehicles in the US are pretty System Conscious. I also very often to see that we are bypassing many systems to just keep running a vehicle because Emissions Test not being held here even AC referigent we let go in open Atmosphere.

Sounds a lot like working here in Alaska. Sometimes we just gotta make die with what we have. I encourage you to get a useable torque wrench for yourself to use. Best of luck in the new job!

What's it run to get this fixed? Looking to buy a 2002 F250 with um "super steering" basically the steering doesn't come back on its own. REALLY easy to steer left to right and stays on track but once you turn you have to manually turn it back again. Steering gear. Got it. Amongst other things. Grrrr...

My 2014 f250 dose something like this. Only when it’s driven hard or for long distances with lots of turns and bumps. It is not death wobble for a fact. I know that all to well. Trust me nobody will ever have a issue diagnosing death wobble. If you have experienced death wobble you know immediately that is the dreaded death wobble. When this happens I can’t center my steering wheel bc it seems to skip from left to right when I try to correct the steering. It will continue until I slam on the brakes or until going down hill when it makes a strange noise and the steering goes back to a normal feel. The steering gets loose feeling before the issue happens. This truck is used and was used for DOT training of heavy trainer hauling and then as a fleet truck. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks for the video.

Damn. I have a e350 ford econoline van. I changed the gear box. Adjusted the casters and tow. And I'm still having the same problem. Doesn't go back to center and feels a bit rough to turn. Not smooth. But the power steering still works. I don't know what else to do. My van is in great condition, almost new. But boone can figure it out for me.
