Steering Question

I think I am having a problem with the sreering in my 04 FX4 Scab.
It is kinda hard to describe. It feels like the is no dead center in the steering. It kinda pulls back and forth. If I starts to pull right , and I correct it then seems to pull to the left. It's almost like a snake slithering back and forth.

Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know what could cause this? How to have it corrected?

BTW my steering wheel seems to be off center as well. Has anyone else had that problem?

I'm not sure about the "slithering" feeling in the steering wheel.

However, mine was a bit off center (not noticable unless you were specifically looking for the imperfection) and was accompanied by a very slight "nibble", "vibration", "shimmy" (whatever you wanna call it). I took it back to the dealer and they realigned the front end and re-centered the steering wheel.. and.... voila... everything fixed. I have no problem "feeling" where center is, either.

Take it back to the dealership and let them check it out in case something might be loose. I have seen new vehicles come from the manufacturer with nuts missing off bolts. Better safe than sorry.
