Weird Steering Issue

[pugsy]

Just started noticing this the past couple of days. After I make a turn, when accelerating out of it, the wheels don't seem to want to return back to centre position on their own. When pulling out of the turn, they straighten out most of the way, but the truck doesn't want to seem to get back to a straight line unless I put the wheel straight. It's not a huge problem, we're only talking a very slight amount of turn if I didn't correct the steering wheel to go back in a straight line.
This does this turning both ways...and seems more pronounced when accelerating harder out of a turn vs just coasting.

Anybody experienced this issue before? Any fixes?

Thanks...

sounds like the u-joints are seized on the outer half shafts.

Humm...can't be - I've used my 4x4 all winter long. I suspected an auto hub problem - but maybe I'll spray downt the u-joints with some penetrating lubricant nonetheless and take off the wheels to see if the hubs are binding anything up.

if you are able to, try and pull the rubber back a wee bit with a tiny screw driver on each corner of the u-joint so the penetration lube goes in.
