Steering Problem! Possible parts gone bad???Help!!!
Ok so last night/this morning i'm driving home from Texas. Goin down the interstate i encounter a fairly long amount of road that made me want to stop and drive 5 cause every 15-20feet was a bad dip that caused some rough bumps.
Anyway i'm driving along and suddenly realize my alingnment is gone out fast. The truck isn't pulling any but my steering wheel is a quarter of a turn to the left and i'm goin straight.
Keep cruising hit a few more bumps and then it's straight up and down as it should be.
Hit a couple more and it's a quarter turn to the right now.
Pull off check everything as best i could with a eye inspection...no flashlight no real tools......
Looks fine. anyway i get out of rough land.It's still a quarter turn to the right now but goin straight as an arrow.
Drive it home and at random on decent size bumps the steering wheel is turning from left to right as it did when it started goin through the drive me nuts land.
So my question is WTF? It drives straight but now from decent size bumps my wheel can be straight up and down hit a large bump or whatever and it's to the left hit another and it's to the right and so on.
Any ideas on what got messed up or a part that went out or is goin out to cause this?
It's buggin the crap outa me and i have no idea on steering components and such.
