See my profile

Have somebody, turn steering, back and forth, JUST IN THE PLAY ZONE at 1st, graduate to more than play, While you inspect the entire steering rod etc. system.

Look for lost motion and movement between attaching parts. It should all move at same time, with no slop in joints.

Goose Egg on tire (broke belt)

Bigas$ glob of mud, on inside/ outside of rim

Lost wheel weight

Need wheel balance

In 4x4?

Worn out tires

Tire sizes different

"U" JOINT(S) BAD

Slime or other sealant in tire

Bad wheel bearing

Bent Axle

NEED MANUAL!

May need professional alignment

I'll think of more, after I hang up!
