Steering tighter on the right vs left

ok, so I kind of always thought my steering wheel had been a little off center toward the left ever since my alignment about 10k miles ago.

But just recently I have noticed that it's not so much off center then it is more responsive to the right side vs the left....so it would appear off to the left more because I would have to turn the wheel more to the left to get it to do the same thing compared to the right.


I.E the truck tracks and drives straight...does not pull at all. With the wheel centered if you turn it to the right it responds immediately, however when you turn it from center to the left it needs more input to get the same effect as the right side.

I had noticed this right after my alignment but just thought I was over looking it as I knew something had been done to the front end.... The only thing they did was adjust the front left toe...which was out.


If they did no tighten everything back down to specs could this be the problem?


Any other thoughts?


Btw, 06 F150 34k, everything stock

Bump.....also would the clock spring in the steering wheel be able to give this feeling ?
