    I support the 'drive it into a wall' method !! Has to have come up a few times !!
    Set it to 50, aim for the corner of the walmart, jump out into my convertable, we'll get a bottle....we'll teach that goldammed truck a lesson...!!!!

    Bridgestone builds them like that. Went through 4 steers in a year on my old cascadia. I'll never own another bridgestone tire.

    An old schooler told me to put golf balls in my steers for balance

    Funny u say that, i actually have bridgestone steers which have been pretty good to me til probably now. I got new leafs in the front which solved half of it, it doesnt pull so hard now, not drives like the frame is off.

    Hasn't been here in 7 years. Doubt you'll get a response.

    Try swapping the steers. Could have what’s called a tire pull. They’ll swap and sometimes fix the problem. If not, they can be broken down, flipped on the rim, and put back in original position they were. Sometimes that works. Basically running the tires in every possible way. I just swapped mine. It pulls a bit to the right normally, at about 50k, on new steers, due to my alignment. I’ve been flipping the right one on the rim before 70k, and it lasts another 60-70k. This set pulled to the right, brand new. I ran them 50k, till it was really pulling worse than ever. Swapped both steers leaving tires mounted, now it steers perfect. Though I know it’s due to the tire, alignments still off. First time I’ve had a tire pull in over 20 yrs. It’s fairly common.
