Ok this has been bothering me from the day I bought my truck. If you turn my steering wheel to the left, from center there is two and a half turns to lock. I can turn my truck around to the left almost on its back wheel(no wonder I blew out an axle joint). From center to the right is only one and a half turns to lock. Takes a ten acre field to turn around to the right. Parking lots are not fun. Its not a problem driving on the road. Just parking lots require a bit of backing up. Anyway I've had it looked at by about half a dozen mechanics no-one knows what it is. It was hit a few years ago before I bought it, but the frame is straight. The mechanics responses range from "its a Ford" to you need a new steering box. The box doesn't leak anything and the feel is linear(no uneven feel) My ball joints are all new, the tie rod ends are good, nothing is worn in the front. I can't figure it out. No-one seems to want to really look at it, they all just give me the run around. Has anyone experienced anything like this with their trucks?
