I looked at a 96 f-150 and took it for a test drive. This truck looks good but it was salvage at one point. While driving it I had to keep both hand on the steering wheel. It was not pulling but was very sensetive to any movement. I am thinking of buying this truck and fixing this problem. Anybody has an idead what could cause this problem?

 

I would say that it's the steering gear box,the adjustment nut on it needs to be turned to take the play out. If it's a high mileage truck the gear box may need to be replaced if adjusting does not work,all the adjustment may be used up from the last owner.

 

It sounds like the alinement is off, have it checked...Rob
