Funny wobble when turning

Hi everyone's


Just wondering if this is normal .

When I do I slow sharp turn I can feel a wobbleing in the stering wheel is this normal and if it is not what would cause this.

Truck drive strait not pulling on one side everything perfect at cruising speed.

Just feel funny when you turn .

Do you have the wheel cranked all the way? If so, that's normal.

Buzzman I'm starting to get the same feeling. Just started about 2000 miles ago. How many miles do you have on your truck, I have 58000.

How long are the U-joints covered? I have one going on the front left. I feels like I have it in 4X4 all the time.

I have the same thing going on with my truck. I am starting to replace what I know is worn on the front end hoping that something will fix it. Since yours is still under warranty you should just take it back to the dealer and have them figure it out. When I called the dealer about mine they said check the balljoints on the axle. IT doesn't make sense those would go out so fast, but who knows... Keep us posted.
