 | steering issues Ok bought my 07 Z71 classic body new a year ago. Cranked the tbars about 2 inches, had it aligned 3 times already and the steering wheel has to be kept at 10 oclock to the left for the truck to drive straight. How do I get the wheel straight. I got 2 friends with the same truck and they don't have these issues. But I can't take it to the dealership, because the simple fact I altered the front end. Is it possible the wheel wasn't straight when the alignment was done??? |

 | does it pull or does it drive straight (even with the wheel at 10 oclock) it is possible they didnt have the wheel straight when aligning but i would think that after 3 alignments someone would have caught it.

| if the wheel is at 10 oclock the truck drives straight, but when the wheel is straight, the truck goes to the right. |

| I got that.  My question was, if the truck is driving in a straight line (regardless of steering wheel position) can you let go of the wheel and have the truck drive straight or will it pull right/left?

| yeah the truck drives straight no problem no pull, only problem i'M having is with the position of the wheel. But yes the truck stays pretty straight going down the road. |

| I would take it back to the last place that aligned it and tell them to fix it. They should of aligned the steering wheel to correct that.
