steering?

[boomchadda]

i have an 06 2500 with a Kore chase suspension system on it. think its lifted about 4 inches in the front. my problem is that when im driving down the road i have to keep my steering wheel a couple of inches to the right for the truck to go straight? if i let the steering wheel go the truck will go straight so i think the alignment should be good. if i center the steering wheel and hold it there my truck will drive to the left?!? how do i fix this? its driving me nuts?!?

Easy. Go in a straight line in a parking lot (flat ground). Stop the engine. Leave key in, so wheel is unlocked. The steering wheel will be turned, but the wheels straight. Go under the truck and loosen the adjustment screws and turn the bar (closest to steering box)until you straighten the steering wheel. (tires should not move). Tighten it back up and it should be good.

This works good. But I'd have the alignment checked. On two trucks that have had the taller springs installed I've found the caster way off on the positive side. Should be 21/2-3 1/2 degrees I've seen as much as 12 degrees positive.

With your KORE set up. The castor should be at 4. 5* to 5* (basically look at your upper ball joints. They should be almost at 12 o'clock, up and down or slightly back).



Also mentioned above and your problem stated. Your steering wheel might be off a little or you might have play in the steering box.
