steering problem

[charvell]

Hey guys and gals. My truck has developed a steering problem, when you are driving along the steering feels really heavy and seems to shimmy for want of a better word. When it is stationary the steering feels fine. I have been under the truck and pulled, pushed and wobbled everything i can, but it all seems ok. So, could it be trye damage or tracking? any advice would be good.

checked the fluid level?

Yes mate all good, as i say when the car is not moving the steering is normal with no restrictions.

You may have lost a balance weight from a wheel or they may need balancing due to wear, does the effect change at different speeds.

Check your tyre pressure, brakes, steering idler arm, ball joints etc....
