Wondering if anyone is experiencing this and possibly has a resolution. I have a 24 lariat that seems to turn a lot more easily to the left then to the right, turning the steering wheel last has much less resistance than turning the steering wheel to the right, the dealer has lined it up and done alignment twice and says that the alignment is spot on. Interestingly enough my 23 lariat had the exact same issue much more force required to turn to the right then to the left and yes a car that is out of alignment would exhibit that on my 23 I will bet you the dealer lined it up 345 times And nothing ever changed, the exact same thing is their weather lane keeping is on or off and lane centering, plus the car always drifts to the left of it a bit which is the exact opposite of what most cars do because of the crown in the road, has anyone else experienced this and what was the resolution

Hey there! I would like to take a closer look at your steering concerns. To get things started, could you please send over a message with your VIN and estimated mileage?

Did you even read his post. He has taken to the dealer twice and everything is good. Don't know what you think you can do for him that he hasn't already done :LOL: :facepalm:

What you’re explaining, could be related directly to the steering angle sensor, not resetting it to zero. This is a common mistake when aligning the front end.

I’d have them check to see if it was set to zero.👍🇺🇸

I'm wondering if the problem might be with the steering Rack. That's the direction I would pursue.
