On a wide turn it doesn't do this. Thoughts on what this could be, or more troubleshooting steps to narrow down?

You then have a list of things to rule in or out. Is PS fluid full? If greasable are front end joint (specifically outer tie rods and lower ball joint free to move? If you have a steering "damper" like a shock absorber for steering is it locking up, leaking or rusted badly? If not forget that if so need to drop it down to really check it from one end or remove it if necessary - replace with new. Is belt for PS properly tensioning? Self tensioned should have arrows showing it's within range or working or a educated feel of belt tension know that's at least OK. Checks can be done with front safely hoisted and key turned to just unlock wheel, engine off see what it feels like turning wheels by hand what you notice. I'd begin with that list of check fix what you may find all wrong?

IF so and it staying engaged most would feel like a wounded crab walk turning on NON slippery surfaces! All trucks that old I know are not meant to use 4X4 longer than absolutely needed or feel terrible. If that alone 1st make sure it's out and if not that's a repair or it's own, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
