| I purchased this truck in a damaged condition after replacing parts that were necessary on front suspinion including track bar which was worn badly for a truck with only 65000 miles truck was taken in for an alignment even after this truck has tendency to wander on road i beleave this is caused by incorrect preload on steering sector which can be adjusted upon researching this on internet i find this tends to be a common problem on these trucks i called chrysler to see if they would do any kind of policy adjustment on box they said no i feel that this is a safety issue and not a wear problem and sense truck was wreaked by previous owner i wonder if this might have been a contributing factor as the looseness in steering box is not connected to accident and with number of people complaining cannot be coinsidential | |||
