My ride has a slight bit of wander on the highway - if I let go of the wheel driving straight at ~55 MPH it will pull a bit one way or another - will probably have my shop check underneath when i get new tires next week. Thanks all!
Check out all of the suspension thoroughly. Ball joints, steering rack, tie-rod ends, bearings, etc.
Given that, my steering wheel has been off centered when driving straight for along time. For the first 15k or so miles it was perfect then it slowly got off. Ive had it aligned twice for a lift but its never changed.
Hmm, are we talking about a pop or a 'creak'? Something in my front end creaks when it gets cold, but never found any cause-- nor did the dealer. I was told swaybar bushings. And on a previous thread people were talking about cleaning them when you admonished not to put any cleaners or lubricants on them.
Should I check my end links?
Pretty much anything to do with that front sway bar can make a noise. You can lube the sway bar bushings if you like, it wont hurt a thing. If they are bad enough to be making noises it wont hurt them any further. The best thing to do is to replace them but Im not bothering with that.
The end links will usually make a clunking or popping if they are loose. I like to check all bolts on the front and rear suspension every time I rotate the tires. Doesnt take me 10min to do since I have all the torque values in my head and have a good torque wrench.
