odd steering
Been a while since I'v been on here.I have 2002 3500 4x4 drw.My prob is when I come out of a turn and the wheel comes back to center it feels like its crabwalking as if it was 4wd.When I make the turn the wheel feels fine.Only when I come out of the turn the wheel shakes.Truck drives fine.No shakes wobbles or vibration.165K on the od. Thanks for any info.

check your wheel bearing / hub bearing. pull you wheel off and turn it, check you play on your ball joints, check the play on your track bar, do a general over all look at all of your steering linkage while your there. if your exhaust is really loud you may not hear your wheel bearing acting up.

the problem is its a bad set up being sealed hubs. you have to replace the whole thing. 250-400$ pending where you get them. plus not fun to replace. but it may not be that. if you can put the truck on stands with blocks on the back have some one turn your wheel while you watch all steering goods.
